Rebecca Wright has been with "The Mermaids" since January 2005 and has travelled around New Zealand with the band - from Wanaka, Waiheke Island, Rotorua, Wanganui and Hamilton to Auckland, (and that was just in the first week).

Rebecca has a soul style voice with a great range and strength especially in the upper register.  She recently completed additional vocal training in the UK (during 2005).

The following sound-files recorded April 2005 are songs from "The Mermaids" repertoire featuring Rebecca on lead vocals: "Last Dance" (Donna Summer) and  "Let's Hear It For The Boy" (Deniece Williams).

Rebecca Wright is recently played the lead female role in the New Zealand production of Andrew Lloyd Webber' "Starlight Express". 

And from March/April 2010 she will be performing in the NZ version of "Rent".

Rebecca is a trained dancer (ballet, modern jazz, contemporary, hip hop, salsa) as well as being a gymnast.  She has a Bachelor of Arts (Education, Dance and Popular Music).  

Rebecca has sung with several other covers bands prior to this group.   She has also toured with several musical theatre productions.  She appeared as a solo performer at the 2005 Christmas in the Park and "Starlight Symphony".  

Rebecca was a part of NZ Idol 2006. She reached the Top 10 and was voted off at position No.7 - something of a shock exit, as she had not even visited the bottom two prior to that night.  Becks previously had been touted as a favourite to win, so this result left many fans and viewers bewildered.
