up. She boasts, “They are lyrical geniuses and their musical
arrangements always impressed me.” John Mayor and
Dave Matthews are famous for their live shows. Rebecca
undoubtedly hit the hammer on the head because her live
shows are something to rave about.
Rebecca completed her degree in graphic design, and
is pursuing a career in music fulltime. Now, she can use her
education to create her own album covers!
In her song Unfateful, Rebecca sings, “If you want it,
go get it, and don’t just wait for it…cause fate is a fake way
to live.” And from her seasoned list of performed venues,
she isn’t waiting around. Rebecca’s played Irving Plaza,
Hiro Ballroom, Highline Ballroom and Ollies Point, amongst
many others. Her hard work and years of persistence aren’t
going unnoticed.
To date, the sweet Long Islander has shared the stage
with a few notable musicians. They include Aaron Carter,
initially famed as a member of the Backstreet Boys in the
late 90’s, Indie-rock Tyler Hilton who had a major role in
the just ended television series One Tree Hill and Gavin
Degraw, who need no introduction.
She hopes to learn the drums and work on her first
album and we’re excited to see what this down-to-earth
chick has in store for the future. Her powerful energy and
raw talent on the Bowery stage outshine the burning wicks
surrounding the room. From the looks (and sound) of it,
this girl is on fire.
