About Me

MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile GeneratorBorn in San Diego, California, Rebecca Norris is a classically trained vocalist, pianist and composer living and working in the Los Angeles area. Her life has always been full of music, from acting as the musical director of a children's theatre company for several years to touring with the Boston Pops Orchestra through college. She has appeared with many famous musical groups and artists, from the great Pacific Symphony and Hollywood Bowl Orchestras to such artists as Rosemary Clooney and Marni Nixon. Upon graduating from California State University Fullerton, she began writing and producing music for short films and now has several on her resume, including "Roland's Trouble" by Chuck Grieb, "Hexenburg" by Scott Line, "Grim Fetch" by John Cahoon, "Exact Change Only" by Chuck Grieb, "Flightless" by Raymond Fero, and the title/end credits song for the live-action independent "Off Hollywood and Vine" by Daniel Stamm. Having launched four self-produced albums since living in L.A (Suite For The First, Cuchulainn, Winter Sketches and Casting Off), she has spent the last two years touring with her 8-piece band and was soon hired onstage as a house artist for B. B. King's in Universal Citywalk. Later, she toured smaller clubs and coffee houses with a more organic 4-piece group. For information on how to purchase her albums, please visit www.rebeccanorrismusic.com.
