“A huge highlight of it all is JennyRebecca on electric guitar and vocals. More precisely: vocals, plural! Somewhere between soul and bel canto. The structure is mostly built around operatic hits, and often — especially when the dialogues are layered over the arias — I’d honestly rather just keep listening to her singing.”

Long Bio

American vocal performer, JENNYREBECCA Ronning, hails from a small town in Kansas and now resides in Berlin. Her artistic journey started as an opera singer in NYC, then took a dramatic turn to songwriting - inspired by everything from Bulgarian and Gregorian chanting, to avant-garde and pop.

It was after moving to Berlin for her opera career, J.R. experienced a devastating loss and her grief found its release and healing in a daily songwriting project that completely changed the course of her career from solely classical to folk-pop and songwriting. Over 1,000 songs and Song Diary entries later, she released her first album and continues to explore how her musical roots of folk, Americana, country and soul, mix with the classical training she received in NYC and the electronic world of music she later discovered in Berlin.

JennyRebecca has been favorably reviewed by institutions such as the New York Times, was a featured singer and actress in the blockbuster movie Ludwig II (2012), and she has recorded with Grammy nominated & award winning producers like Charlie Peacock (The Civil Wars, Switchfoot), Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor), Nikko Weidemann (Babylon Berlin) and Pete Min (Feist, Andrew Bird, Shawn Mendes) as well as Matt Flynn (Maroon 5 Drummer) & Jon Button (The Who Bassist).

As an independent artist, J.R. grew her instagram community to over 30 thousand followers, and with the support of her community, successfully executed two Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns as well as her own DIY House Show tour for her first album, Brilliant After All, in 2017, touring 53 cities in the United States, Europe, Scandinavia and the UK, and was invited to perform her songs with the North State Symphony Orchestra in California on the last stop of that tour.

These days you will find J.R. singing originals as well as opera arias with her electric guitar and loop machine on the streets of Berlin, as a featured soloist at Monbijou Theater, and preparing to release her new album in 2025, recorded between Berlin and L.A. with Nikko Weidemann (Babylon Berlin/Moka Efti Orchestra); Matt Flynn (Maroon 5); Jon Button (The Who); Pete Min (Feist/Lucy's Meat Market LA).
