Renzita
RENZITA is a transcontinental US/Canada "genre-breaking " hard rock collaboration formed in 2023 by Canadian vocalist Renita Zintel and Texas-based lead guitarist Randy "Ranz" Lodder. The duo seamlessly blends the raw grit of hard rock, metal, classical, electronic, and jazz, creating a unique and dynamic sound that defies categorization.
RENZITA’s explosive debut single ‘BAD BAD YOU’ strikes a chord with rock fans worldwide... Opening with some explosive guitar riffs, the song kicks into high gear with smoky, angry vocals from vocalist Renita. Reminiscent of Joan Jett and a sprinkle of Janis Joplin, Renita’s passionate delivery of the song’s lyrics is captivating.
