Rebecca De La Torre wields a passion for music that is potent and mysterious, graceful and illuminating. With a voice that is sultry and powerful, her genuine musicianship can be heard, seen, and felt by those who experience her performance. Whether she is intimately alone with her piano or moving and shaking the crowd with her energy and drive, Rebecca intuitively knows how to captivate her audience from the moment she sings her first note.

Though voice and piano have always played a major role in Rebecca’s life, she never considered her passion for music would someday be her profession. Being a practical A+ student, Rebecca chose to come to Arizona on scholarship to study computer programming.

Despite the lucrative success of her engineering career, a violent relationship shook Rebecca to the core. Once free, she made the courageous decision to leave the world of security to follow her heart to music. She was soon engaged to sing for the Arizona Opera and joined Orquestra Panamericana where she learned to speak fluent Spanish.

Rebecca’s first LP album is Incognito, a creative pop rock collaboration with lyricist and executive producer T. Siering. Thirteen songs tell the story of overcoming a physically abusive relationship and the struggle that arises with self-doubt. Incognito is Rebecca’s metaphor for stepping out of the shadows with music that is dark, mysterious, and illuminating, expressing depths of passion and fantasy consistent with her personal artistic journey.

In May 2013, the world welcomed her new debut album Incognito. For more about Rebecca, visit www.RebeccaDeLaTorre.com.
