Reb Fountain

Reb Fountain (born June 1973) is an American-born New Zealand singer and songwriter known for her blend of alternative folk, country and pop-rock music.

She first rose to prominence as a teenager, when she was labelled the "best voice to come out of Christchurch" in 1990. She subsequently disappeared from the music scene until the release of her 2006 debut album Like Water, and its 2008 follow up Holster. She stepped away from her solo career for close to a decade, before returning with her 2017 award-winning EP Hopeful & Hopeless.

A major breakthrough came in 2020 after signing with Flying Nun Records and releasing the self-titled Reb Fountain; the album went on to win the 2021 Taite Music Prize, as well as nominations for the Silver Scroll and five Aotearoa Music Awards.

She released her fifth studio album Iris in 2021, followed by How Love Bends in March 2025 and Water for Gasoline in August 2026.
