Rebecca Lappa is a born story teller, who crafts songs with strong melodies and haunting lyrics. At the age of 13, she has already penned over 40 songs in a contemporary mix of pop and folk with a hint of jazz. They range from ballads to up-tempo tunes all sung in her expressive clear soprano.

Having completed two EP’s of original songs, Rebecca is presently recording a full length CD with Peter Stone of 100 Mile House. New songs continue to spring forth as this prolific songwriter is inspired by life events and the wealth of music around her. Rebecca has stories to tell and a voice to tell them.

Rebecca is busy building a fan base as she performs at festivals, venues and talent searches around her home town of Edmonton. Whether singing the anthem at a Canada Day celebration in front of the Mayor or singing for an appreciative crowd at a coffee shop, sharing her music with an audience is Rebecca’s true passion. She has performed at many festivals such as Heart of the City, SOS fest, Big Valley Jamboree and the Leduc Black Gold Rodeo, and sung at charity events including the St Valentines Day Hair Massacre and Kokopelli Sing-A-Thon. You will also find Rebecca at open mics and songwriter stages or performing as a member of U22 productions. Her music is available for purchase on KERFMUSIC.

She has been selected to perform as a finalist at the Northern Star Talent search at Capital EX for the last 6 years. At the Futures Fest competition in 2005 she won best junior musical theatre solo.
