I’m a professional singer based out of Boston. In my short time here, I’ve been able to work with some of Bostons most successful GB bands, including Clockwork, The 1999, Up All Night, The Marcels, Neon Lighthouse, Salt Riot, Elephant in the Room, Legends of Summer and Beach Nights. I also have a few projects that I am excited to highlight below.
A bit about my backstory…
Back in February (2024), I concluded my long term job aboard Aida Cruise Lines as the lead female singer of the band, Sleepless.
I had spent the privious 5 years touring Europe in various cities and countries, with the most time spent in Brno, Belgrade, and on the sea working with the German company, Aida, since 2019.
Before my time in Europe, I enjoyed 10 years between NYC and Boston working in various industries along the way.

My Current Projects
RMV
RMV is an acoustic cover trio putting a nostalgic, vibey spin on top 40 hits. From Olivia Dean to Chappell Roan to The Cranberries, they turn pop favorites into warm, stripped-back moments that feel both fresh and familiar.

We are your go-to cover band for a good time! This 5 piece party band take nostalgia to new heights, featuring Rob Yonkers on Vocals, Kevin Tran on Bass, Nick Lees on Guitar, Moira Applebaum on Keys and Dan Moreno on Drums. Check us out at your neighborhood bar any Friday night for a good time.
The Rapid Decline
The Rapid Decline (TRD) is a Boston-based trio that thrives on pushing boundaries, blending raw energy with experimental soundscapes. Rob Yonkers, with her bold hair and poetic lyrics, delivers a unique vocal presence that channels both power and vulnerability, weaving stories that resonate deeply. Prithvi Mallepula crafts the sonic atmosphere, pulling in samples, sculpting beats, and layering guitar textures that give the band’s sound its evolving edge. His production drives the band’s ever-shifting sound, keeping it unpredictable. Varun Shah anchors the rhythm with a fusion of traditional drums and digital pads, shaping the pulse that powers their music forward with both organic force and synthetic precision. Through their music, The Rapid Decline explores a world in flux, reflecting the chaos, disillusionment, and resistance of an age where everything feels like it’s on the brink — but even in decline, we keep moving forward.
