BIOGRAPHY

Born in Guam and raised in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, Rebecca Porter infuses her music with raw authenticity, characterized by her honey-smooth voice and sharp, irreverent songwriting. Her courageous lyrics tackle personal themes, including trauma, discrimination as a Chamoru woman in rural Virginia, and the intricate challenges of motherhood.

 

Her musical journey began over a decade ago in local cover bands, where she gained acclaim before redirecting her creativity during the pandemic. This shift led to the release of two impactful EPs: Prime Rainbow Conditions and Queen of the Local, the latter sparking her rise to national and international recognition. Recently, she joined Rissi Palmer's esteemed Color Me Country Class of 2024 and made her debut on NPR's Mountain Stage. Ed Helms, editor of Good Country & The Bluegrass Situation, featured Porter on his curated playlist, 'Ed's Picks'. These milestones reflect Porter's artistic evolution and her ability to connect with audiences, transcending her local roots and showcasing the transformative power of storytelling through music.
