Born in southern California , Reb Fountain is now resident in Auckland.
Reb studied performing arts in Seattle, Washington. As a jazz vocalist, she landed a place at the prestigious "Dimitriou's Jazz Alley" club, immersing herself in the work of the greats - Eartha Kitt, Tito Puente, Flora Purim and many others.
Reb's second album 'Holster', is immediately beautiful, carrying child-like innocence and serenading peace, before she slowly reveals her tough side through edgier electric numbers with her backing band, The Bandits. Drawing influence from such luminaries as Patti Smith, Joni Mitchell and P J Harvey, Reb unleashes fistfuls of vocal ammunition full of contrasting states of aggressiveness with wistfulness, snarling seduction with wide-eyed elegance, heartache and hope.
"It's ok for a woman to be a woman and own her self. People can be anything they want -- and even though it's f**king hard if you want to be different it's the best and only way to travel. Even though it sounds cheesy, being yourself is the only way to be happy, and although committing to your own journey is the hardest road, it's the most fulfilling one."
- Reb Fountain
