Rebecca De La Torre Band, Vocalist/Pianist

About

Rebecca began learning to read music at the age of four. She performed in local music theatre productions and sang in choir at church, always having a lead role in any music production.
Although she began reading music and picking out simple melodies on the piano, the first instrument she studied formally was the trombone, and became an all-state 1st trombonist all through Jr High and High School. She began studying classical voice at 15, and by the end of high school had won a variety of awards for vocal and trombone performance.
While also adept at computers and math skills, Rebecca got a scholarship to attend several schools, and ultimately choose Arizona State University and received a degree in Engineering. She continued to study voice and began to study piano while working an as engineer full-time. She sang and played with latin and jazz bands, even sang with the Arizona Opera, but keeping music as a part-time job wasn't enough. Rebecca eventually left a position as a Senior Engineer to become a full-time musician, a decision she considers one of the best of her life.
