A river of converging currents — artist, mother, activist, and nonprofit founder.
Born and raised in Santa Fe, NM — where her Spanish-Indigenous lineage stretches back more than 500 years — Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Rebecca Trujillo Vest channels ancestral memory and hard-won losses into sonic rituals of loss, hope, protest, and renewal.
Part neo-hippy troubadour, part sonic shaman, her music floats between genres — a blend of cosmic folk and ethereal pop — evoking the spiritual minimalism of Ajeet, the intimacy of Nahko, and the emotional gravity of Joni Mitchell in her Hejira era.
"Since the fires, I've given myself the grace to slow down — to stop juggling three songs at once, and just be with one. That's been a quiet kind of luxury."
Each project took shape at Earthstar Creation Center, the Venice Beach recording studio she co-founded in 2010. She also co-founded the Pandion Music Foundation — a nonprofit providing independent artists with free resources, mentorship, and wellness tools.
