Music[edit]

Rebecca was disinclined to change from an acoustic solo artist earlier in her musical years, but the move to London opened many doors to working with other creatives. Here she put together a band with other students and they formed a self-titled band 'Rebecca Peace'. She began to meet more industry professionals overtime through the masterclasses that were presented to the students and these drove her to work harder on each project.
In 2020 a debut album was planned to release, however, due to COVID causing issued with lack of equipment this has been changed for her to release a series of singles in the pop-rock genre.
Modelling and Acting[edit]
Rebecca modelled in a fashion show in primary school which ended up in the local paper the Shropshire Star but this wasn't of interest to her at the time as music was her main focus at the time. She had the opportunity in 2011 to join a modelling and acting agency EKA which were are in the north of England. Whist signed to this agency she took part in several television shows which include; Fresh Meat on Channel 4 and The House of Anubis on Nickelodeon. Rebecca also worked on the ITV show Home fires and was a dancer in the Dodie Clark music video for Boys like you directed by Cambria Bailey-Jones at Penny4.

Rebecca continues to model and work with companies such as Inkbox, Badoo and various other brands through her Instagram page.

She revisited uploading YouTube videos in 2013 when she bought a guitar and began uploading regular singing videos alongside skits to show her personality. The skit videos were inspired by Jenna Marbles and Grace Helbig who she would watch regularly. Nowadays she uploads a mixture of content from makeup tutorials, music videos, boyfriend vs girlfriend challenges, reviews of products, storytimes and Pokémon openings.
Education[edit]
She did not go to school much as a child due to being bullied relentlessly, ending in life-threatening epileptic seizures and 6 months later her mother fell ill with a rare illness. These incidences did not stop Rebecca from pursuing her dreams of becoming a professional musician regardless of staying at home to care for her mother.

Personal life[edit]
Peace is an advocate for talking about mental health freely and often talks about 'real issues' on her Instagram story. She expresses how important it is to not suffer in silence and that she does check her dm's for anyone that may be in distress or need someone to talk to. Throughout her childhood, she suffered with multiple eating disorders and became very fragile but now she has overcome it and works on self-love, self-care and giving her body the nutrition it needs. Rebecca has also been vocal about depression, anxiety and PTSD. Her songs are mostly written about events that have affected her mental health in some way. She finds this is a very therapeutic way to process such events.
Rebecca met her current boyfriend Robert Kinbrum in early 2018 whilst Rebecca was halfway through her first year of university in Birmingham. She was planning to move to the London campus for the rest of her education so the timing was perfect. Robert is a Pokémon YouTuber and is passionate about all things Pokémon. He introduced Rebecca to the world of Pokémon and she now has her own collection of cards.
