“The artistic love child of folk singer Joni Mitchell and stadium rocker Robert Plant.”
Rebecca Moore is a highly accomplished, award-winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her music is described as traversing the plains between Led Zeppelin’s ‘Battle of Evermore’ and Stevie Nicks’ ‘Gold Dust Woman’.
Rebecca is currently producing her third full-length album titled ‘The Goddess of War’ with Mike Caen at his studio in Darlinghurst, New South Wales. She is also working on tracks at various studios in Western Australia, where all of the songs on this album were written.
The first single from this album is the title track, ‘The Goddess of War’. It will be released in the Australian Spring of 2025. This song features several intertwined myths that circle around the Greek Goddess of War Athena and the Irish Goddess of War, The Morrigan. It also details the story of Lilith, who was Adam’s first wife and her journey to freedom through her refusal to be subjugated. It chronicles the sacrifice she makes in standing up for her right to be treated as Adam’s equal.
Rebecca is signed to Irish record label MCM Global Team. Her 12-track album ‘Return’ was released by them on the 21st June, 2021.
‘Return’ was recorded with Martin Russell at Sonic Innovation Studios in London, UK and David Sparks at Pirate Studios in Tathra, NSW, Australia. It spans more than a decade of touring and songwriting. The songs on this album combine the beauty of Rebecca’s deep connection to her Celtic heritage with creative lyricism, the power of rock music and the emotion of the blues.
In both 2021 and 2022, Rebecca was nominated for the Australian Folk Music Awards, People’s Choice Award. Throughout her career, she has received many nominations and awards for her songwriting, including winning the inaugural APRA Professional Development Award in the Rock category in 2001.

Rebecca is driven by music and a strong social conscience and has an ongoing commitment to raise awareness and funds for these lost children.
