Artist Profile

Born in Orange County, Southern California and raised in Medford, Oregon and in Palm Springs, California, this west coast gal came of age in a music era where anything goes. Becky got her first guitar at age eleven and was performing in school and in small town events by the time she was thirteen. She never dreamed of a career in music until after she left school at Brigham Young University where she was a special education major and came to Los Angeles in search of a more exciting life. She was discovered by fashion photographer Michael McCans, got an agent and immediately started working as a fashion model. The fashion world soon became boring and Becky was not content to merely stand in front of a camera posing. She gave up her brief modeling career and started to get serious about playing music. Soon after she hooked up with some local musicians and started playing the joints around L.A. and occasional out-of-town gigs. During this time she has developed her songwriting into a fine craft, sharpened up her musicianship and singing skills and has spent many an hour in recording studios over the years.

Her first album was recorded live in a popular Los Angeles night club and entitled "First Shot Live". She was disappointed with the results and parted ways with her manager and started all over again. Her rebellious attitude did not fare well with the music industry, but she was determined to make it on her own terms. After years of hard work and much rejection she has finally made the album of her dreams, "Shapeshifting", a self-produced collection of original songs featuring many of the finest session players in Los Angeles. In a new era of opportunity finally coming to independent artists, this is definitely a time for Becky Bishop to get what she's worked so hard for and so long to achieve.
