Rebekka Fisher started writing music at age 9 and was always considered quiet until she performed on stage, that's where she found her language to communicate. Born in Minnesota to a cartoonist family, Rebekka's lyrics include both a reflective and sarcastic side to the groove-jazz music. Her influences include Carol King, Parliament Funkadelic, Gladys Knight, Beck and Bjork.

After receiving a degree in music composition, Fisher went out to start her own production company, Rockomotion Productions.
