Extended Bio
Rebekah grew up in Humboldt County, singing amidst the fairies of the Redwood Forest, and swimming with the melodies of Moonstone Beach. As she entered her teenage years, her family moved to the cement slab that is Murfreesboro, TN. Music came with her. Occasionally she found that same free-spirited connection in an overgrown abandoned utility lot behind her house, and even hummed along with the septic outflow of the Stone’s River. She also found music in a YMCA gymnasium under the lights of a makeshift sanctuary. In high school, Rebekah joined the church worship team and started writing worship music. With dreams of becoming a contemporary Christian songwriter, she moved to the foothills of the Smokey mountains to attend Maryville College.
Freshman year, she discovered that formal classical training was not her path. Sophomore year, she found herself on the outskirts of a once all-encompassing faith. Music became the friend that stood by without judgment, listening and baring witness to her journey. She began to find connection once again returning to the natural elements that surrounded her and learning to trust the voice of her inner guidance.
​
As a timber framer, AcroYoga instructor, retreat facilitator, herbal crafter, and community space holder, songwriting is one of her many forms of creative expression.
