Rebecca Hollweg is a singer and songwriter. She lives in London with bass player Andy Hamill and their daughter Ruby. Rebecca is the daughter of visual artists and grew up first in West London and then in very rural West Somerset where she started writing songs at a tender age.

In October 2001 she released her first album 'June Babies' on Emu Records - 12 tracks of melodic pop songs, featuring string arrangements by Chris Bowden and a guest appearance by singer songwriter Jeb Loy Nichols. Produced by bass player Andy Hamill (whose credits include 4 Hero, Mark Murphy, Carleen Anderson, Jeb Loy Nichols, Nitin Sawhney and Kylie Minogue amongst others), it received critical acclaim in the national and music press (see home page) and went on to get played on Jeremy Vine's BBC Radio 2 show.

In 2002 Rebecca featured on Andy Hamill's own album ' Bee for Bass' (also on Emu Records) in a duet with Jeb Loy Nichols. In the same year she did her own headline tour of the UK, appearing on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour with Jenni Murray and doing sessions for Janice Long on BBC Radio 2 and Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6Music. Later in the year she supported Roger McGuinn of The Byrds on his UK tour, playing major theatres and concert halls.

In 2003 she got married to Andy Hamill!

In November of 2003 she supported Paul Carrack (formerly of Squeeze and Mike & The Mechanics) on his UK tour, again playing major venues - henceforth known as 'brown sign' venues, because you don't need a map to find them.

The title track of 'June Babies' got used by the BBC in a programme about women runners!

All this time Rebecca continued to play London venues including The South Bank Centre, Ronnie Scott's, The Borderline and the 606 Club, as well as arts centres and venues round the UK.

In 2004 she produced a daughter, Ruby, already a great singer and aspiring drummer and all-round musician.
Rebecca continued to do gigs, mostly in London, and continued work on a new album begun before her daughter was born.

January 2008 saw the completion of that album, 'Orange Roses' - 9 tracks of mellow, melodic songs with a country tinge. Again produced by Andy Hamill, the album features the same great musicians as 'June Babies' - Andy Hamill (bass), Mike Outram (guitar), Phil Peskett (piano), Tom Gordon (drums) and also Julian Ferraretto (violin, viola and string arrangements).

Singer-songwriter and artist Jeb Loy Nichols has designed the cover.
