Rebecca Roudman, the lead cellist of Dirty Cello, revolutionizes perceptions of the cello by blending classical training with rock music. Starting her musical journey on piano and later embracing the cello, Roudman became discontent with the constraints of orchestral music. Despite her classical upbringing, she yearned for creative freedom, which led her to form a rock band that allows her to express her individuality and skill. Her story emphasizes the importance of breaking traditional boundaries in music and exploring personal artistic expression.
I was playing piano by six months old. My mom's a piano teacher and she asked me if I wanted to learn the harp. But turns out we didn't have a big enough car, which is probably good, because otherwise you'd be talking to someone who plays in the band Dirty Harp.
From seven years old on, it was all about the cello... There were a few things I really hated about being in an orchestra.
I wanted to grow and not be doing what everybody else was doing-but I also didn't believe that I could play rock on the cello.
