REBEKAH RYAN

Dynamic Vocalist ‘Rebekah Ryan’ began her professional singing career aged just 14 performing on the Club circuit around her home turf in the Midlands. 

Two of her earliest performances were as support for Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and the Pop/Rock group Marmalade.
In 1993 she won £1000 when she appeared on Des O’Connors ‘Pot Of Gold’ TV talent show singing Whitney Houstons ‘One Moment in Time’ and her winning performance attracted the attention of Managers and Music Executives within the Record Industry. 

In 1994 she would sign a 2 million, Five Album Recording Contract with MCA Records.
The contract saw Rebekah work with some of the Worlds biggest Music Producers including Ric Wake, C&C Music Factory and Nigel Lowis who worked with such legendary Artists as Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Dinah Carol and embark on an Arena Tour with the hugely successful boyband, Boyzone. Her Debut Single ‘You Lift Me Up’ released in 1996 was a number 1 Club Hit and reached 26 in the commercial Pop Chart. 

Rebekah parted company with MCA when the two parties couldn’t agree on the right musical direction for her to take and Rebekah took time from 98 to 2000 to write her material which once again would see her signing a 3 Album Deal to hugely successful independent label Jive in 2000. Rebekah hoped her new label home would at least allow her the creative freedom she so badly desired, sadly the Label was going through a huge buy out and again industry Politics saw her dreams of a successful Recording Career thwarted.

Upon departing from the Music industry in 2002 following the death of her son Rebekah has been determined to continue doing what she loves most and has gone on to Sing on Cruise Ships and Events and most recently wowed the Judges with her emotional rendition of Sarah Mclachlans ‘Angel’ on the X Factor 2016. Rebekah made it as far as the 6 chair challenge where sadly her nerves just managed to get the better of her. ​

Nerves however is not something you’ll witness when you see this lady perform live. She commands the stage with absolute ease and her energetic performances will leave you spellbound from start to finish. ​
