Creative Collaborator

Becky Gebhardt is a musician and non-profit organizer motivated by collaborative artmaking, community-building, and the transformational power of music. Her work with Raining Jane and Jason Mraz as bassist, sitar player, co-writer, and touring band member has taken her across the globe and onto many prestigious stages with the shared intention of service through music. Back in her hometown, Becky co-founded social justice and music education non-profit Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls Los Angeles with her bandmates which has created music-making opportunities for girls and gender expansive youth since 2010.

Becky met Raining Jane at UCLA, and where she first learned to play the sitar. Her first teacher of North Indian Classical music was world-renowned sitarist Shujaat Khan, and she later studied with Paul Livingstone. Building from this foundation and inspired by her Punjabi heritage, Becky began to blend North Indian Classical musical concepts and sounds into her work with Raining Jane, Jason Mraz, and other Western artists.

Over their 14+ years of collaboration, Raining Jane and Jason Mraz have amassed an expansive catalog of songs, many of which have appeared on Mraz’s albums, including the Certified Gold hit “Have It All” in 2018, fan favorite “Beautiful Mess” in 2008, and “Love Someone” in 2014 (from the Mraz-Raining Jane album YES!). The fivesome has performed together on American Idol, The Ellen Show, The Tonight Show, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! And Raining Jane co-penned several songs on Mraz’s latest album: Look For The Good.

Other notable music/audio projects Becky is a part of include composing for film and video, editing podcasts, creating experimental audio soundscapes, and a side project with electronic producer and songwriter 9 Theory, called For The Horses.
