About Me

Grew up in Waterford, by the sea, live in Dublin. Influences growing up: animals, weird people, and the sea. Fell in love with music because i was an escapist, and it was the perfect ally. Nightime radio was my lifeline until.....College, Big Smoke, CDs and Gigs,..writing songs, and wanting to be a musician. My friends say i'm a coalmine - it's probably true ; ) My ep "At Sea" is on sale now from my website (www.rebeccacollins.net) And there will be an album soon.... xI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
