Biography

From age 3 Rebekah wanted to play violin, but her mother couldn’t find anyone willing to teach a child so young. She began at 4, and at 8 remembers crying when first hearing a vinyl record of Beethoven’s Spring Sonata. When asked why she was upset, she replied, “It’s just so beautiful.” Beauty moves us. Rebekah’s sound has been described by listeners as “otherworldly”, “simmering” and “painstakingly beautiful”, and that it “suspends in the air”. Rebekah’s original music is characterized by journeying the listener, painting a vivid landscape and crafting a story carved with woven words and melody. Whether composed or expressed live through her voice, piano or violin, Rebekah’s sound is synergistic and makes way for itself. Her music is “dreamy, beautiful and powerful. I love how her voice and violin intertwine.” (Sharon, USA) Australian born, Rebekah resides in Northern California, USA.
