I’m starting to find that balance between what people want to hear from me and where I musically want to take them,” explains Boston MA native Dutch ReBelle “If I can walk into a room and control the crowd, it just pushes me to keep writing my story.” \r \r More and more people are responding to ReBelle’s story. Dutch ReBelle (ne’ Vanda Bernadeau) has seen the positive energy that she has built for herself in Boston’s hip hop scene to become genuine respect. Audiences are connecting to her mix of introspective punch line filled lyrics and raw golden-era influenced and trap beats that are built for the turn up. \r \r After sharing stages with artists from Action Bronson, Big K.R.I.T., Cam’ron, Wu Tang Clan, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, and Melanie Fiona and the release her critically praised mix tapes, “Beauty vs. The Beast” and “Married To The Music”, Dutchy saw the love come from all angles. ReBelle was part of the Boston Phoenix’s “Freshmen Hip Hop Class”, awarded “Best Artist” at The Fab Empire’s Fab Awards and won “Best Female-Hip Hop” at the 2011 New England Urban Music Awards along with “Best Group- Hip Hop” for her work with the group Famous Nobodies. The Boston Globe called her “The ReBelle with A Cause” and solidified her as a respected emcee on the rise. \r \r With a style that makes seem like the lovechild of Ghostface Killah and Lauryn Hill, Dutch brings aggression and intellect to every verse. In a world where female MC’s feel forced to sell sex in order to get attention, she’s committed to tell the rest of the story. What helps ReBelle win fans is her ability to tell compelling stories with great songwriting. Equally at home with battle rhymes or rocking the club, she sounds at ease on nearly any track.
