Bec Hollcraft
Bec Hollcraft appears to be a typical teenage girl, living in a typical city, dealing with the same hopes, dreams and aspirations of any 17 year old. What is not typical is that Bec has the ability to express, through infectious rock melodies and insightful lyrics, the everyday struggles of her generation.
Bec’s journey from a high school freshman in Portland, Oregon to emerging artist has been nothing short of a dream come true for her, she says “A family friend recorded a song I was singing in the school choir, and somehow got it to Meredith Brooksâ€. Meredith, a multi-platinum artist, producer and songwriter, was surprised by what she heard…â€Bec has a powerhouse voice, and when I realized she could write songs too…I was soldâ€.
With the support of her parents, Bec spent her summer vacation in Los Angeles with Meredith working on songs for her debut album. Meredith continues to be genuinely impressed by Bec’s work ethic, “ She has an incredible drive to succeed, she certainly has the talent, and she’s hungry for thisâ€.
Bec’s talent has caught the ear of radio programmers in her hometown of Portland. After some airplay on local specialty shows, Bec was soon added into full time rotation and has received incredible response. Bec was also covered by local television stations, featured in The Oregonian, and was the cover story in Two Louies, Portland’s premiere music magazine.Bec continues to play live in the Northwest, and recently began performing around Los Angeles. Singer/songwriter, Janet Robin, says,“It has been incredibly exciting working with Bec. She is a fresh and unique talentâ€.
“I have been overwhelmed by the response I’ve gotten. I’m so grateful that I’m able to follow my dream making musicâ€. At first look, Bec might appear just to be a typical American teenager…..but she’s much more than that…..she’s also an amazing musical talent who’s starting to leave an indelible mark.
