Rebecca Dru began her music training at the tender age of three on piano. Born and raised in Newton, Massachusetts, she comes from a musical family of seven children. Rebecca has been living in Los Angeles, California for over 28 years, where she frequently works as a singer on recording sessions. She has also written songs for syndicated television and movies and has been a featured guest artist and teacher at UCLA. She was a winner in the '97 John Lennon Song Contest, the 1999 PARENT'S GUIDE TO CHILDREN'S MEDIA Awards, the 1999 GoGirls.com internet award, the 1999 CHILDREN'S MUSIC WEB AWARDS and the 1999 JUST PLAIN FOLKS MUSIC AWARDS. Rebecca Dru was a featured artist on TempoItaliano.com which specializes in Italian music as well as Playhouseradio.com which features family-oriented music. She has played to audiences worldwide, ranging from the Arkansas River Festival in Wichita, Kansas and Symphony Hall in Boston, Massachusetts to the San Vincenco Caffe in Italy and other various venues. large and small. around the US and abroad. In 1986, Rebecca Dru's 4 song EP "Heart of the USA" was featured in USA TODAY and in the 70's, she was a member of the hot disco band "BROTHER & SISTER" which was featured on "Dick Clark's American Bandstand". She has received rave reviews worldwide.

Having experienced the joys and challenges of motherhood, her commitment to children and their education has been fortified and she has been donating some of the proceeds of this project as well as her time to various educational organizations associated with children. Rebecca has also developed an instrumental music program presenting all the instruments in the Orchestra, Symphonic and Marching Bands as well as some unusual instruments from other cultures to the children. This affords children the opportunity to actually touch and try real musical instruments and to desire to learn how to play them. She also produces "CRASH-BANG-BOOM", a percussion perfomance program in which each child has the use of drums, everyday objects and various percussion instruments. The experience of the drums/percussion instruments allows each child to shine on an equal level. They learn to feel, to read and play rhythms together as an ensemble and have fun while learning.

But on a lighter note, what she enjoys most is simply savoring all of life's little moments...having fun, laughing and...boogie boarding, snorkling, horseback riding, long hikes with her dogs, tropical beaches, creating tantilizing tastebud delights with her daughter, sculpting, a glass of wine with friends in the Tuscan countryside, a good trashy novel, watching "ALL MY CHILDREN" curled up in her husband's arms, ice skating with her daughter, painting, practical jokes and spending time with her family and friends.
