Beckett

Born and raised in the small Southern California town of Ojai, where being weird and different is embraced, Beckett was singing as soon as he could talk. As a toddler, he fell in love with the sound of Elvis Presley’s voice. He begged his mom to play Elvis’s records every day, which she did, along with the Beatles, Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler, Sam Cooke, The Animals and many others. Beckett became a musical sponge, fascinated with every decade, every chord, every song. It was obvious to his family and friends that this kid lived and breathed music. He jumped at every opportunity to sing in front of people - talent shows, open mic nights - he even sang at the famous Libbey Bowl alongside Eric Burdon of the Animals and Dave Mason of Traffic. He picked up the guitar and started writing his own songs at the age of 14. In 2019, he recorded 17 original songs, which quickly circulated around the tight knit community.

Inspired by a plethora of artists - from Big Mama Thorton to Billie Eilish - from Elvis to Billie Joe Armstrong, Beckett’s melodies sear the senses and his lyrics are simple yet poignant. They won’t let up or leave the memory any time soon.
