An avid educator as well as performer and composer, Rebecca combines a Master’s degree in Music from Georgia State with over 20 years of performance, recording, and teaching experience. A native Tennessean and Rhodes College graduate, she has three CD's to her credit, a vocal jazz arrangement on the Sony/BMG record label, and a combined performance, recording, and touring resume spanning the U.S., England, Scotland, Wales, France, and Japan in choral ensembles of all sizes and as a solo performer. She has opened for Mel Torme, worked with Mac Frampton and the Hollywood Hills Orchestra, the Atlanta Pops, and co-founded the acclaimed vocal jazz quartet, South City Voices. Rebecca has also appeared as a performing artist/lecturer with nationally renowned author Dr. Philip Furia at MTSU for a tribute to songwriter Johnny Mercer. She teamed once again with the South City Voices for the second album of pop recording artist Brent Cash on the German record label, Marina Records, released in 2011. On the writing side, Rebecca’s musical composition setting to “The Mirror Poems” won national recognition in the 2012 NATS Art Song Composition Competition. She is proud of her private music students, many of whom have won scholarship and leading roles in musical productions, exceled in competitions and festivals, produced their own albums, advanced to perform professionally, received local and national recognition in Billboard magazine, Time Warner New Artist of the Year, and chosen to work with judges such as Pharrell Williams on the NBC hit TV series “The Voice”.

Versatile as both performer and teacher, Rebecca has maintained a private teaching studio serving the north Atlanta community and has been singing on the Atlanta jazz scene and in the southeast since the 1990’s. In the fall of 2013 she joined the Lamar University Music Faculty in Beaumont, Texas as a full-time Instructor of Music- Voice, and Director of Vocal Jazz Ensembles, where she continued performing and developed the Cardinal Jazz Singers, master classes, and applied instruction in contemporary singing and vocal jazz while also teaching theory and piano. Recent performances include the American Cancer Society Walk, Lamar University’s Cardinal Calvalcade Concert, House Concert for Lamar University’s French Circle, and Featured Vocalist with the Robert Ceballos Trio at Eddie V’s Jazz Lounge in Houston. Among other organizations, Rebecca is a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), and the Jazz Education Network (JEN). Currently in the process of completing a Texas recording project, Rebecca is excited to be relocating to the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina, where she will be continuing her music career, and sharing her gifts with North Carolinians and beyond.
