Brooklyn, NY-born/raised/based singer-songwriter Rebecca Pronsky writes about people, plants, death, and politics. Her songwriting has been called “passionate and wry” (TimeOut NY) and “enjoyable and beguiling” (The Telegraph UK). Whether written in her own voice or the voice of a character, Rebecca’s songs delve into the complex inner worlds of individuals and explore the murky boundaries of self.

Before working in musical theatre, Rebecca spent a dozen years recording and touring under her own name, releasing albums on alt-country/roots music label Nine Mile Records. During her time on the road, Rebecca criss-crossed the US, UK, and Europe, averaging 75 shows per year at clubs and festivals, and shared stages with Grammy winners Shawn Colvin and Loudon Wainwright III.

Her full-length records include: ONLY DAUGHTER (Top 10 Country Albums of the Year - The Telegraph UK), KNOWN OBJECTS (4 stars - Maverick), DEPARTURES & ARRIVALS (Critics’ List Best of the Year - Philadelphia City Paper), and VIEWFINDER (Song of the Day - NPR Music).

Following the 2016 election, Rebecca traded her cowboy boots for a pantsuit and wrote, produced and performed WITNESS: HILLARY’S SONG CYCLE, a one-woman show that goes inside the mind of Hillary Clinton just after her devastating election loss. The “comedic and cathartic” (TimeOut NY) piece sold out both the 2018 New York International Fringe Festival and its subsequent run at The Duplex in 2019. It also received a segment on WNYC/New York Public Radio’s “All of It” with Alison Stewart.

After developing two episodic music video projects for social media, Rebecca is now hard at work on EINSTEIN’S BEGONIA, an ambitious new musical, written in collaboration with playwright Alexis Roblan. EINSTEIN’S BEGONIA is based on the true story of a family heirloom Rebecca was gifted. Told from the plant’s perspective, EINSTEIN’S BEGONIA explores grief, found family, theoretical physics, botany, and the search for identity.
