“Award Winning, BBC Radio Wales A List, singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Pontypool in South Wales, Rebecca Richards writes songs that are instantly relatable to the everyday. She sings “of love and life and luck” and creates that sweet spot of unique yet familiar feeling melodies – you’ll be humming along in no time.
Her love of music is heavily steeped in country, infused with dashes of blues with a sprinkling of rock and folk.
Rebecca’s single Amber, released on 11 July 2025, was selected as BCMA Editors choice and made the BBC Radio Wales A list for two weeks.
Rebecca was thrilled to be invited to play at The Cavern Club, Liverpool in February 2024 as part of the BCMA Awards showcase session. Other venues include The Camden Club, London and the South Wales Country Music Festival, Newport. Her songs have generated radio play all over the world. Her Aces Are High reached number two in the British and Irish Hotdisc Top 40 and number nine in the European charts and featured a play on Bronwen Lewis’s Country Show on BBC Radio Wales.
In both 2023 and 2024, she was shortlisted for the UKCountryRadio.com Song of the Year Award for I Love It When You Smile and New Yesterdays respectively which she played at the awards ceremony.
Rebecca was honoured to have won Best Country/Folk Artist at the Newport Love Live Music Awards in June 2025 and has been nominated for Female Country Artist of the Year at the 2025 UK Country Music Awards which take place in September.
