Having been influenced by singers such as Sarah Vaughn, Nancy Wilson and Diane Schuur to name a few, Rebecca has developed into a seasoned performer. 

Recently returned from overseas, she has performed in Toronto (in the original production of Lord of The Rings), Japan (We will Rock You), and Germany (Miss Saigon). Following from her success in Japan, Rebecca was asked by the original members of Queen to record a power ballad version of their hit "Only the good die young". In 2000 EMI/Virgin signed Rebecca to a major record deal with the pop band Jackson Mendoza . She travelled extensively to places such as London, L.A. and New York writing songs with some of the greatest pop writers of our time such as the writing team "Matrix." Having performed in a variety of styles from soul to rock etc, Rebecca returns to her roots to sing jazz, the music that is most dear to her. 

From a review of Daniela Kaleva (Australian Stage) of Rebecca's performance on 11 October 2008 at Bennett's Lane Jazz Club:

"Rebecca Mendoza has everything one may wish for in a jazz singer. She looks well and moves well and has an expressive face. Her sturdy technique supports an inquisitive musical mind and a voice of more than three octaves, which allows her to deliver original interpretation at ease. The timbre of her voice is warm and smooth with spacious low notes and a resonant top. One can tell that gospel and Billy Holliday had been an influence in the formation of her technique, the sound is however unique and thrillingly jazzy. Mendoza’s performance brought new light to tunes everyone in the audience knew well and followed with interest. Her virtuosic scatting embellished many of the songs, while her delivery of the story line of each song was deeply experienced. Amongst music by Cole Porter and Duke Ellington and the dance rhythms of samba and bossa nova, the highlights of the night were celebrated songs such as My Romance, The Song is You and God Bless the Child. The touching delivery of Black Coffee, the third song of the second set, absolutely dazzled and silenced the audience - a signal that the piece had hit the target and the performance had reached its peak."
