“She combines upbeat, kick-your-ass music with poignant lyrics to create an album that truly leaves you energized…the stage presence of Joan Jett and Suzy Quattro all rolled into one 20 year old young woman with a bit of a chip on her shoulder and a edge that we’ve not seen since those two artists hit rock in the late 70s” – Young Poor And Angry.com, September 2009
Hailing from Portland, OR and now based out of Los Angeles Becca has already made a mark on the international music charts and she is gearing up to do the same in the U.S. with her EP debut Kickin’ & Screamin’, out today at all digital outlets and her full length CD ALIVE!! coming in 2010, both releases on SIN - Sony Independent Network.
“It’s beautiful and has a sweet edge to it that gives it great playability.
She has everything a pop/rock songstress should have” – Rock On Request.com, September 2009
Becca’s proven equally adept at belting out full-throttle, female empowering rockers like “Kickin & Screamin” and “I’m ALIVE!,” her vow to live life to the fullest in the wake of the premature death of a friend. Though she’s equally prone to vent or switch the sexual tables as in “Guilty Pleasure” as well as croon big arena-sized power ballads such as “Lose You Now.” The 20-year-old brings a wisdom far beyond her years.
“This is something I’ve always dreamed of doing,” says Becca, who first picked up the guitar at 10 and by 14 was writing with fellow Oregonian Meredith Brooks, known for her multi-platinum hit “Bitch”. “It all happened when my family friend recorded a song I was singing in the school choir and handed over to Meredith” Becca says.
After a few years of writing music and pounding the pavement of the Los Angeles rock scene, playing clubs like The Roxy, Troubadour, Key Club and The Knitting Factory, word started to spread about this young rocker. In early 2008, she was offered a record deal by Sony Music and by June 2008, she released her first EP in Japan. Since then, she has performed at the famous Summersonic Festival and Yokohama Stadium, released a second EP, and her first full album that debut at #2 on the international charts, now at ripe age of 20 years old Becca is eager to tackle the American market.
