The Lights Go On, The Music Dies

You Were Meant For Me

Pairing elements of 90s nostalgia with modern-alternative pop and electronica, April Rick’s music weaves contrasting dynamics of old and new into something exciting and entirely her own. Strong pop melodies and descriptive lyrics grab the listener’s attention, drawing us in, while the piano provides a grounding, supportive role.

Good Day  🌈
sharing only unfinished and unpampered homemade-songs ✌🏻
inspired by Sting, Bowie, Odezenne ..

Even though I scream inside because of America's shit show, I'm still Rebecca, an old hippie rocker. When you read my comments, hear them in a southern drawl. I’m a liberal from Georgia … yes, we do exist. I moved to Hawaii about 20 years ago. 

I’ve been around the block a few times. Played a lot of guitar. Mostly I've worked as a visual artist. I've spent some years in the music biz with a major label and my own indie label. I’ve done some other interesting things, too, including: horse training, long motorcycle trips, movie set design, accompanying my wife on her pro bowling tours, and I've seen a good bit of the world. Now I’m retired and still keep busy doing all the things I want to do.

Life is what you make it. Follow your passions.

Speaking of passions … because I love designing, in February '24, I opened an Etsy store as an outlet for prints on clothing and other items: https://dragonhousestudios.etsy.com
