My name's Rebecca Roberts, and I started my musical journey by diving straight into the deep end—my first professional gig was singing backing vocals for my mum live on prime-time TV (The Late Late Show), aged just 16, before I’d even started my first tour of Ireland. No pressure!

That experience led me to a role in Aspects of Love alongside my mum and John Barrowman—a surreal and incredible opportunity.

After the musical, I went on to study at Leeds, where I had the incredible opportunity to study alongside some of the most respected jazz musicians in the world, who I still collaborate with to this day.

Following that, I worked as a guest artist on cruise ships. But when I wasn’t singing on the high seas, I was passionately advocating for equality and environmental causes. It felt a bit like a hypocritical existence—singing on cruise ships while trying to save the planet! Not surprisingly, as my lyrics increasingly reflected these themes, fewer bookings were coming in.

So, after sailing through that chapter, I decided to dive deeper into my artistic self.

To truly explore my potential, I pursued a Master's at Tileyard in Songwriting and Music Production. I developed my project and christened it Danionella.
