Born in Chicago, Illinois, 15-year-old Rebecca Brown showed her interests in music at a very early age, when she was 18 months old she would hum the whole entire Nutcracker Suite. Rebecca started her musical studies at this age through the Suzuki-Orff Baby Steps Program and at 4 years old started formal guitar lessons with Julia Miller.

At age 9, Rebecca was featured on the national radio program “From the Top” as one of the youngest guitarist ever featured on the program (www.fromthetop.org). One year later, she received a call from the programs producers about an upcoming film in which Paramount Pictures was looking for classical guitarists. When the film's five-month casting process began, producers and directors all agreed to cast children who were already trained musicians. That's when they turned to From the Top and Rebecca. She was cast for the role of Katie the bassist of the band in the movie, School of Rock. (www.schoolofrockmovie.com)
