A Musical Life: Cecilia Raheb

Cecilia Raheb is guitarist and vocalist with the Wichita-based band Crisis Casanova with Brenna Beeson.

“When I was a kid and I would sing I was horrible, and I would sing so off-key. My family had no problem telling me that.

But … it just took practice. I feel like a lot of people say, ‘I can’t sing. I don’t have a natural talent,’ or, ‘I can’t play music. People are gifted.’ But, really, if you have a desire to do something, you can invest time in it and you will get better with deliberate practice.”

Jedd Beaudoin is host/producer of the nationally syndicated program Strange Currency. He created and host the podcast Into Music, which examines musical mentorship and creative approaches to the composition, recording and performance of songs. As a music journalist, his work has appeared in PopMatters, Vox, No Depression and Keyboard Magazine.
