Thanks for visiting! I'm Los Angeles-based songwriter Bethany Rubin and Café Bossa is my catalog of original bossa nova songs. When I was a toddler, whenever a Jobim song came on the radio, my mother would sweep me up in her arms and dance with me. I've loved bossa nova ever since and enjoy writing originals, sometimes with French lyrics. I work with different singers and producers, but my main collaborators are vocalist Jillian Calkins Mixon and producer Arthur Pochon.

To listen to my pop, singer/songwriter, and jazz songs, please visit Bickenhall Music. 

The following talented singers, musicians, and producers have helped bring my songs to life.
