About the Band

Born in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia, Jody spent her early years exploring piano, cello, vocals, and dance — ballet, tap, clogging, and even square dancing. After moving to Coral Gables, Florida in junior high, she focused on vocal training and Latin ballroom dance. As an adult, Jody became a lyricist and vocalist in several original bands spanning genres from Southern rock to Gothic symphonic metal. She currently fronts the cover band Luna Pearl as well as BDP, and together with her husband and fellow BDP bassist Massimo Delli, she owns and operates Family Rocks Granite, a stone countertop fabrication and installation company.

Born on Florida's Space Coast, Heather still resides there today with her husband Todd. She is a mother, a Lolli, a paralegal, a former roller derby girl, and a lifelong music enthusiast. Although she has always been deeply involved in the music scene — including running an independent label and recording studio with Todd for many years in the late '90s and early 2000s — this is the first time she has stepped out from behind the scenes to perform. Heather is proof that it's never too late to pursue your passions and dreams.

Rayne (pronounced Rain Ka-steel-ya) was born in Miami, Florida, but raised primarily in Frederick, Maryland until age 16, when she and her very musical family relocated to Florida's Space Coast — where she still resides today with her two beautiful children. BDP is her first "real" band, and she's still working on shedding a little of that shyness. Then again, being the daughter of BDP vocalist Jody D., we're pretty sure she'll get over that relatively quickly. 😉

Born in Milano and raised in Roma, Italy until the age of seventeen, Max moved to Coral Gables, FL — where he met and later married BDP vocalist Jody D. His musical upbringing began at age 8 with studies in music theory and piano, but in his late teens he decided he belonged in the lower notes of the bass clef. He has played in many original bands across styles ranging from country to metal. Max is currently the bassist for cover band Luna Pearl as well as BDP, and he owns and operates Family Rocks Granite, a stone countertop fabrication and installation company.

Born in New Jersey, a musician most of his life. Russ has played in many cover and original bands through the years and is currently in at least two cover bands, playing both guitar and bass. He runs the Jam Night Tuesdays at Social Distance Bar, plays guitar for The Bella Donna Project, and fronts his own Blues/Rock outfit, The Russ Kellum Band (RKB). Oh — and he's a rocket scientist.

Ira grew up in Florida in a musical family — his dad led music in a local church and his mom sang in the choir and played piano. He started piano studies at age 6 and continued through Fine Arts Music College, studying piano and brass. Over the years he has worked for Rockwell Collins for 35 years, served as a Music Director, and taught as a Martial Arts instructor. He has three grown children; his youngest serves in the USAF. Ira has played in many bands and is enjoying performing with Luna Pearl and The Bella Donna Project.

Rob currently resides in Florida and performs with the cover band Luna Pearl as well as The Bella Donna Project. A true family man, he has an amazing wife and two adorable daughters he cherishes dearly.
