Intangible Connection

About Me

In Becky's Words: Music is my first love.I'm irrational with meaning;scattered, empathetic,and sentimental.I see beauty in the dirt.Life is a canvas:Does it make sense?Is it supposed to make sense?It doesn't have to make sense. Becky began singing the day she was born. She sang her first original melody at the age of 3. By 13, she was composing on the guitar and piano. After a earning her psychology degree from Ohio State, Becky had a lot to write about.She was fortunate to be able to play with, and learn from some very talented musicians including Stan Smith (jazz guitar prof, Capitol Music Conservatory); Rocco Di Pietro (resident composer, Stanford; and author: Dialogues with Boulez), Cole Newman (prolific songwriter/pianist, film composer); Matt Paetsch (jazz/electric bass instructor, Kenyon College); Seth Earnest (jazz drum instructor, Capitol); Kevin Dippold (film composer/producer), Malcolm Cross, (drummer for Pete Yorn & Minibar); and many others.Becky's passion for music, drive for experimentation, and devotion to her skills have helped cultivate her craft, and transform her into the artist she is today.***Felix Culpa***
