BIO:

My name is Rebecca Lindsey and I am a country singer/songwriter. As a Christian as well as a survivor of domestic violence I can tell you that the biggest thing I regret is the time and energy I spent feeling misplaced shame, guilt and anger at myself over being fooled into choosing a husband that was abusive. I had essentially wasted 4 years of my life after I divorced him struggling with those emotions rather than using that energy towards something meaningful and positive. After four long years, through the grace of God, I made a conscience decision to stop feeling anger at myself over what had happened thus placing my energy towards many things including doing what I really love with singing as well as helping with awareness regarding domestic violence. I personally believe one of the most helpful things we can do as a community is implement classes available at public schools making others aware of the signs and symptoms of abuse as well as believe in the power of faith. It will not only educate but help others to recognize the crucial red flags we all normally ignore or dismiss as ‘someone just having a bad day’. Perhaps I spent four years regretting so another survivor would hear my story and realize it is a mistake to blame yourself. Imagine what you could do once you stop blaming yourself, and start living. May God bless you.

Since finishing my debut album in June I have recently had positive meetings with RCA and Broken Bow as well as Warner Brothers Nashville Record Label. Grammy nominee Charlie Craig, who co-wrote “Wanted” with and for Alan Jackson as well as won a nomination for 'song of the year' for Reba McEntire's "She's Single Again", was my Producer as well as one of the songwriters on my album. The album was recorded at EMI and Chris Latham, Trisha Yearwood's ex-husband, was my engineer. For the last year, prior to my album being completed, my demo of “On the fourth of July” has been played in over a thousand radio stations world-wide and in nine states. I have been interviewed by several radio stations including Y107FM, NIXA, WBTN in New York as well as been on PAX TV in Nashville and the Gene Williams Show in Branson, Missouri, which is nationally syndicated, to name a few. I have been involved with several charitable organizations including when I was a Big Sister at Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence as well as UHaul are both endorsers and promoters for my album. I am also a motivational guest speaker at events for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. On Oct. 26 I will be a guest speaker in New York for the National Coalition and on Nov. 11 I will be donating my time to perform at the Eternal Monument Light Ceremony for the Veteran's Day Parade representing UHaul in New York as well.

It has been my goal to give back to the Christian community and especially help organizations like the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. I also feel led to help and inspire others through my music. What could any other victims do once they stop blaming themselves and start living?

God bless you. I truly appreciate your consideration. To listen to music, please visit: www.rebeccalindsey.net
