Rebecca Elatiki
Vocal Artist and Retreat Facilitator
Rebecca Elatiki is a Moroccan-American singer-songwriter and vocal artist whose genre-bending sound reflects the richness of a mixed and multi-layered identity. Her work weaves haunting, ethereal vocals and ancient melodies into modern, experimental compositions; exploring themes of humanity through a voice that is powerful, tender, and emotionally evocative.
Rebecca's lifelong journey as a singer includes being both classically trained and clinically mute, and it's from this contrast that she draws—both on stage, in ceremony, and as a facilitator. This understanding, paired with a deep commitment to social impact, guides all of Rebecca's work. As a former social worker and foster care alumni, she brings a trauma-informed approach to her offerings of music, mentorship, and ritual. It's this same spirit she carries into ‘When Women Wail,’ a somatic vocal practice designed for women and femmes to journey back to their own voices through grief, power, rage, and liberated self expression.
Much love,
Rebecca
