Inner worlds. That’s the through-line for the music and lyrics of Rebecca Pronsky, the Brooklyn-born/raised/based songwriter, singer and producer. Whether written in her own voice or the voice of a character, Rebeca’s songs delve into the complex inner worlds of individuals, and explore the murky boundaries of self.

After growing up in Brooklyn, NY, Rebecca attended Brown University, where she studied music and wrote her first songs. As her introspective writing evolved in the years following, she met twangy, ambient guitarist Rich Bennett, and a long-term collaboration began. The two produced four critically acclaimed albums and two EPs together under Rebecca’s name, and spent more than a decade recording and touring internationally. Rebecca’s darkly personal songs were featured on NPR Music and BBC Radio, and her 2013 album “Only Daughter” was named a Top 10 Country Album of the Year by the UK’s The Telegraph.

After the 2016 election, Rebecca wrote and produced “Witness: Hillary's Song Cycle,” a one-woman musical theatre piece that goes inside the mind of Hillary Clinton after her devastating election loss. Both comedic and heartrending, “Witness” premiered at the NY International Fringe Festival in 2018 to sold out audiences. “Witness” was followed up with further musical forays into political satire.

Once Covid took hold, Rebecca turned her energy to writing and producing "Together All the Time,” a 10-part documentary podcast that follows New Yorkers through the early "lockdown" phase of the pandemic, weaving together emotional first-hand accounts of life sheltering in. As the world opened back up, Rebecca turned her attention to plants.

Rebecca is now hard at work on an ambitious new musical, “Einstein’s Begonia.” The show is based on the true story of a family heirloom Rebecca was gifted: a houseplant that belonged to Albert Einstein. Told from the plant’s perspective, Einstein’s Begonia explores grief, found family, theoretical physics, botany, and the search for identity.
