May 7, 2008 – 5:13 pm
After released her debut album last year, Rebecca Soejati Reijiman or just called Rebecca as her nick name, recently she was chosen by Indonesian Music Magazine (majalah musik Indonesia) as “The Sensationalâ€. As a foreigner, she is very lucky of getting such honour recognition in Indonesia, while many of Indonesian musicians still in the way of reaching it.
At the first time she visited Indonesia, her intention was just spending her holiday. Then she changed her mind after Romeo, her brother, introduced her to 88 Music (a music recording label). DJ Sumantri from 88 Music was interested to her voice and invited her to make an album.
Then her debut solo album entitled “KATA HATI†contained 10 songs that mostly of love and women stories, was released in 2007. The album had mixed the music genres such as R&B, jazz, pop and rock. The single “Tanpamu†was the hit song on this album.
Who is Rebecca actually? She is a graduate of University of The Hague, Management and Law, The Netherlands. She was born in Den Haag, 21st February 1985 as the second child of three siblings from Robert Jean Lewis (her father, a Dutch) and Rinie Soejati (her mother, an Indonesian) couple, and is citizen of The Netherlands.
