Obtained Bachelor of Music in Composition from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand in 1996. Incomplete Honours programme in 1997 due to pursuit of computer-related activities.

Moved to Paris in January 2001, invited to be Guest Artistic Co-Director at Steim in April 2001 and relocated back to Amsterdam. Moved to Chicago, via Montreal, in February 2003.

She is a composer, musician, and co-founder and technical director of Source Elements. As a self-taught music technologist and programmer since the 90s, Rebekah has toured as a composer, electronic performer and lecturer around the world. When serving as artistic co-director at the celebrated STEIM institute in the Netherlands she developed a passion for real-time music performance software, and later co-founded Source Elements where Source-Connect was created. This has meant she has spent over 15 years getting to know every aspect of music production intimately when it comes to working with remote team. In 2018, Rebekah completed her Masters in the topic of Networked Music Performance, merging two passions: music and network technology. Her research promotes a future where increasingly sophisticated internet and music/audio technologies emerge, bringing a world made recently more distant from each other, closer together with music, dedicated audio production techniques and rich media applications.
