I'm 100% Korean American and proud of it!!! :-)

About Me

From humble beginnings in Mississippi, Beka began developing her passion for music as a four-year-old performing and recording with her family’s Gospel group. By junior high, she was garnering regional acclaim as a rising talent and by high school, she began refining her individual style. A week before her high school graduation, Beka was offered a recording contract from world-renowned producer David Foster (Celine Dion, Chicago, Whitney Houston) and his imprint, 143 Records. Due to her desire to focus on honing her songwriting skills, Beka opted to sign a deal with publishing giant, EMI Music Publishing. These accomplishments afforded Beka the chance to discover who she was as an artist and songwriter, explore the complexities of her Asian heritage and invest in becoming the best in her field. She is currently focused on writing songs for various artists and film/TV projects in Asia and the United States. "Songwriting is my passion and I am having so much fun creating and taking part in new music coming to life! I am so thankful that the Lord has allowed me to have such an amazing creative outlet! I hope you enjoy my songs. They are examples of what I am currently writing for artists in Asia and various US projects."
