Brooklyn, NY-born/raised/based singer-songwriter Rebecca Pronsky writes songs about people, plants, death, and politics.

Featured on NPR, SiriusXM, and BBC Radio, Rebecca spent a dozen years recording and touring under her own name before she widened her lens to production and musical theatre. Whether written in her own voice or the voice of a character, Rebecca’s songs often delve into the complex inner worlds of individuals and explore the murky boundaries of self. She is known for her distinctive voice, genre-defying songwriting, and charming stage presence.

For many years, Rebecca released albums on Austin, TX label Nine Mile Records. Her records include Only Daughter (Top 10 Country Album 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). During her time on the road, Rebecca criss-crossed the US and Europe, averaging 75 shows per year and sharing stages with Grammy winners like Shawn Colvin and Loudon Wainwright III.

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

Rebecca is currently hard at work on her newest project, Einstein’s Begonia (Semifinalist, O’Neill Musical Theatre Conference 2025), an ambitious new musical she is writing 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.
