About Me

Becky Baeling's debut album on Universal Records, BECSTASY, and her 100's of club engagements from 2002-2005 made her the darling of the dance-music scene. Born in Madonna's hometown of Rochester, Michigan, Baeling started dance lessons at the age of three; by five she had already written her own musical; and by the age of nine, she was making regular appearances in numerous plays and musicals and singing with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Michigan, she left for London, England and attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, honing her theatrical skills. Baeling then moved to New York City, performing in jazz clubs and singing on TV commercials including Slim Fast and Coca Cola, and appeared in various stage productions. It was shortly after her move to NYC when Becky's unique, powerful voice and performance caught the attention of the recording industry. By the end of the year she had inked an album deal with Universal Records and landed a spot on The Guru movie soundtrack with "I'm Gonna Fly". Influenced by disco divas like Barbara Streisand and Donna Summer as well as Broadway favorites like Liza Minelli and Bette Midler, she began recording high-energy pop with dramatic and soulful vocals. Her first single released off of BECSTASY, "If You Love Me", (produced by Jennifer Lopez and Celine Dion veteran Anders Bagge) was included on the Global Hits 2003 compilation and reached 3 on Billboard's dance chart. Her follow-up "Getaway" (produced by renowned DJ, Tony Moran) scored even higher, reaching 1. Becky was named Best New Dance Artist of 2004 at the International Dance Music Awards and the 6 Dance Artist of the Year in Billboard Magazine. Becky’s television debut was in 2003 on Fox TV’s Summer Music Mania, performing a duet of "Saturday In The Park" with Brian McKnight. Her sitcom debut came with a guest appearance on the CW’s ALL OF US one year later. Due to her theatrical background and her effusive personality, Becky brings to her music and performances, a distinct dramatic flair."Baeling dons enormous zest and the gutsy flair and attitude of a young Mae West. She has a real propensity to change her demeanor while belting out a song with amazing gusto. She oozes with love for her craft and she is joyous to watch."- Beverly Hills CourierIn 2005, Becky took her musical expertise and passion into yet another facet of her career; TV Hosting for the new music show CD:USA. On CD:USA she interviewed and introduced 100’s of artists from Jamie Foxx to Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna to Clive Davis, Jonas Brothers to Linkin Park to name a few. She continues to host entertainment news and events for Sprint TV and Star!Weekly and pursue her acting career while working on her sophomore album which combines her jazz and musical theatre roots with a flipped new twist as evidenced in her covers of Cy Coleman’s “Big Spender” and “Witchcraft”.
