A little more about me...
Thanks for visiting! I'm so happy you found my music.
​
I'm Rebecca, freelance musician, mother of 5 children, grandmother to a 4-year-old boy.
​
If you're listening to my music, I want you to know more about me! I have eclectic interests. I love horses and trail-riding in the mountains with friends and family.
​
Sports are a huge part of my life! UofU gymnastics, Liverpool football, supporting my kids in soccer, basketball, tennis, you name it!
​
My husband, Trevor, and I love to travel. We recently went to Israel and Jordan, and you can frequently find us in Liverpool and South Africa for work.
​
I am passionate about educating and supporting others about Down Syndrome and CDH, because of our experiences with our 8-year-old daughter Petra.
​
Of course, I love music! I am a frequent session musician in Salt Lake City and have performed on stages and in albums with musicians from all across the world.
​
Thank you again for your interest and support in my work. Let's connect!
