Meet Rebecca Pearl

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Rebecca Pearl a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Rebecca , so excited to talk about all sorts of important topics with you today. The first one we want to jump into is about being the only one in the room – for some that’s being the only person of color or the only non-native English speaker or the only non-MBA, etc Can you talk to us about how you have managed to be successful even when you were the only one in the room that looked like you?
Growing up a first-generation Haitian-American, I always felt a bit different in any room I walked into; somewhat set apart. As a child, my personality allowed me to be fluid in my friend groups and gave me the ability to excel in many different spaces. Feeling different gave me the desire to find a way to relate to people, and growing up in Orlando, FL, a massive melting pot of people from all over the world, I loved to learn about people and where they come from, their customs, cultures, abilities, talents, and dreams. Developing in this way allowed me to flourish in any environment I found myself in.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I am Rebecca Pearl, a singer, songwriter, poet, and visionary. I’ve been singing since the womb and have been writing poetry and music since I was about 6 years old. Someone once told me that my voice made them feel as though they were wrapped in gold and light, and it brought tears to my eyes. I love to sing about healthy love and living life more abundantly.

My debut single “Don’t Mind” was officially released on January 27th, 2023. This song is about being in love with the person of your dreams – the one you asked God for. I wrote this song to be the very embodiment of my divine desires, where my dreams become a tangible reality. It’s about a love that is flawless, and ethereal, that came from Heaven itself, just for me. It celebrates the ties of true love and embraces devotion and commitment and the boundless pleasures it brings. It invites you to close your eyes and taste Heaven on Earth.

I’ve had the privilege of singing for people like Cardi B and Tasha Cobbs, and I am excited to be continuing to rise in the industry. I began writing music initially as a means of release in the difficult periods of my early life, but it became my way of serving the world. I desire to create atmospheres for people to meditate on the most beautiful things in life, leaving behind anything that would deter them from that and also having a grand time in the process.

As a poet, my writing has always been very “real”. Originally, I began writing to fully express how I felt and processed the world around me. Today it has become one of my greatest weapons. A while back I wrote and released a spoken word piece called “I Am Woman”; which I consider to be God’s love letter to me, at a time when I needed it most. It is a divine reclamation of identity, and a declaration of my identity and worth as a woman. Today, that poem has inspired and healed the hearts of thousands of women, and counting.

My favorite thing about being an artist is my ability to connect with people at a deeper level. To know that what I create allows someone to feel seen, and loved, to gain the strength to leave what was never meant for them and choose what fills and heals them, is one of the greatest gifts to me. Bringing joy to people is something I always aspire to do, and getting to do that on a grand scale is an incredible blessing.

I’m currently working on my Ep “Divine Alignment” and I’m so excited about bringing it to the world. It’s a series of love songs about being in perfect alignment with God and the desires of your heart, it’s about love, and I think that’s my favorite thing about it.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Firstly, it would be my faith. My relationship with God has kept me grounded and intact through every period of my life, especially those being the most difficult. I’ve heard a lot of Christians talk about God being their “firm foundation, the solid rock on which I stand” and I can honestly say that is true for me. There have been many times when I wanted to quit and give up on my dreams, myself, and life, but having God on my side, and experiencing the joy and love, and victory that He’s brought me over and over has been the greatest blessing I have ever experienced.

Second would be my ability to learn and pivot and the heart to persevere when situations would change, and when things would become difficult. I had a mentor who recommended the book “Who Moved My Cheese” by Spencer Johnson, and it revolutionized my perspective on change and how to pivot when things shift. It was truly a gift to me and I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a career in entertainment.

Finally, I would say my social skills have had a tremendous impact on my ability to move about the world and operate with grace and integrity in realms of various interests and personalities. It’s a skill that takes time to learn, but I’ve experienced firsthand the benefits of being able to work with others, getting to know them on a personal level, and being bold enough to step outside of my comfort zone and truly experience people as they are.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
Absolutely I am. I love people and I love learning from and working with others. Whether it be with producers or musicians, visual artists, organizations, etc, I love to collaborate and partner.

Ideally, I work with kind honest, people of integrity, who love to grow, learn, and explore. I can be contacted through my social media @ IAmRebeccaPearl or via email at Rp@IAmRebeccaPearl.com
