VOCALIST/COMPOSER, REBECCA DONAHEY
BACKGROUND

Rebecca Donahey (fka: Becca Fuchs) received a Bachelor of Music degree from Boston University, majoring in Classical Voice performance, having been awarded the prestigious Greenwich Choral Society Scholarship.
Shortly after, she moved to New Orleans where she sang with the local rock/funk band Cosmic Arc. Becca moved to Los Angeles 5 years ago, and is presently recording and performing ambient and electronic dance music. She can be heard on the latest album from Vic Hennegan, Aqua Vista, as well as Solace Dance, on Alien Tribes Records. She and Hennegan also appear as co-writers for the 2006 Fateless Flow Collective track titled 'Linger'.

REVIEW OF SOLACE DANCE
http://www.soniccuriosity.com/sc291.htm
VIC HENNEGAN: Solace Dance (CD on Alien Tribes Music)
This release from 2006 features 49 minutes of energetic electronic music. Energy runs high in this music, really high. The electronics are dynamic and lively, and vigorous percussion only adds to that catchy vigor. Nimble-fingered keyboards belt out hyperactive riffs of sparkling demeanor replete with vibrant peripheral effects. Liquid textures flow with vital elegance, providing a sinuous backdrop for the spry melodies. There's even a few instances of very funky guitar hiding in the pulsating electronic density. The percussion is complex and insistent, generating rhythms of massive charm. Surging electronics blend with the beats in sultry manner, achieving a fusion that is delightful to behold. Rather than battering the listener, these tempos lift the audience on wings of stratospheric splendor designed for elevation and mental clarity. Four of the seven tracks feature female vocals, which vocal effects are prominent in the other pieces. These vocal threads are often utilized as a non-verbal instrument, embellishing the mix with spiraling garnish. A glorious sense of jubilation dominates these compositions. The tunes are peppy and catchy, the performance exactingly crisp and thoroughly rewarding. Hennegan has a remarkable ability to craft tuneage that combines contemporary EM and techno music which is guaranteed to strongly satisfy patrons of the dance floor as well as the lounge chair set. Exuberantly recommended.
