BECKY RECTOR had, and has, music in her bones! Her love for homespun music began as a toddler, singing and dancing on the front porch, as her dad played Harmonica. Becky learned to play Clarinet at the age of 9. Her passion for music continued as she played her clarinet through high school and sang in the choir in both high school and College. When it became apparent that she had more music in her than just an interest for group singing, Becky became serious about her voice, and began vocal training in 1977.

Perhaps it was records, radio or television, but Becky wanted to sing Country music! She joined a Country band and sang every song that singers like Willie Nelson, Amy Irving and many other artists recorded. Through it all Becky developed her own distinctive, and captivating, voice and style.

When Becky married her soul mate Ray, their musical talents combined to create a musical journey together. Traveling with their Classic/Oldies Rock band, "Thee Rector Set", they had a blast entertaining the folks with the likes of "Rockin' Robin" and "Pink Shoelaces". When it was time in 1995 to finish raising their family, this musical duo took their musical talents to their church choir and orchestra.

Then in 2002 Becky and Ray began attending Bayside Church with yet another musical group in mind! "D'Vine Rhythm" was formed with a special approach to worship ministry. Audiences of all ages have enthusiastically responded to their energy and musical talent!

Becky is always ready to minister through music. For example, the disabled have been blessed via "Through The Roof" ministries as she serves with them. Becky was thrilled to teach, instruct and conduct choirs totaling several hundred children. Becky treasures these times as high points in her musical journey.

A particular genre of music which has Cajun roots has intrigued and captured Becky for years. That music is "Zydeco". It is no surprise that a new band has been formed to promote her love for that music. Becky is the "front" for the group. Her fire and enthusiasm bring an unbridled explosive excitement and electricity to their music. Becky can bring a burst of soulful energy with the magic of the Bayou one minute, and then touch everyone's heart with a beautiful love song the next.

Becky recently became a member of the prestigious group of musicians that have demonstrated their professional proficiency, and received her “Gold Card”, as a Vocalist, at the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society.

Becky feels that  Z.O.O.M. aka: ZydecoOnOurMind has blazing heat radiating from each member of the band. She uses every ounce of her energy to bring out the best the band can produce. The results are very exciting and entertaining. Becky  and ZydecoOnOurMind must be seen and heard to experience their joy!
