JennyRebecca
After a devastating personal loss, JennyRebecca turned to music not just as expression, but as survival. A classically trained singer from Kansas, she had moved to Berlin from New York City to further her opera career — but grief redirected her path. What began as a daily songwriting diary for healing became over 2,000 original songs, transforming her artistry from purely classical to a folk-pop blend infused with Americana, soul, & Berlin’s electronic influences. Her debut album, Brilliant After All, was funded by her nearly 30,000-strong online community through two successful Kickstarter campaigns, followed by a DIY 53-city house show tour across the US, Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK, culminating in a performance with the North State Symphony Orchestra in California. She has recorded with Grammy-winning producers, been featured in the film Ludwig II, and earned praise from the New York Times.
Today, JennyRebecca performs her original songs with pop & operatic vocals, electric guitar, & live looping — on Berlin’s streets, on tour, & as a featured soloist at Monbijou Theater. Her upcoming album, recorded in Berlin & LA, will be released in November 2025. Beyond the stage, she’s used music for social impact: teaching in innercity NYC for The Metropolitan Opera Guild, leading workshops for Middle Eastern refugees in Berlin, and offering Somatic Singing and Songwriting for Healing workshops to people facing mental health challenges. Through projects she create like Somatic Choir Berlin and The Artists Rising Podcast, she helps others find their voice, build resilience, & transform through music.
