Rebecca Conner is currently living in Portland, Oregon, preparing to release her debut album, which was written and arranged with her partner Leon Cotter. This collection of songs, arranged for drums, bass, keys, guitar, horns and strings, is a decade in the making. At 19, Rebecca Conner’s love affair with music began playing songs around a beach fire in her hometown, Lincoln City. During a subsequent trip to Europe with a guitar, jazz was the music that most spoke to her, and she returned to the States to pursue an education. Rebecca went to music school at the age of 21 not yet knowing a major scale. With a lot of catching up to do, her education lasted all of 7 years, starting at LCC and finishing at the University of Oregon. Rebecca left her last collaborative project, High Step society in 2018, and moved from Eugene to Portland ready to tell her own story and bring her own aesthetic to life.
