Becki Vocalist on
Hardcastle 5
After performing for up to eight hours a day on a tour
to Miami aged 16, Becki decided she wanted to be a musician. Her parents were
horrified...
Really,
though, they shouldn't have been so surprised, as there were some pointers along
the way. At the age of 12 Becki was entered into, and duly won, the Daily
Telegraph Young Jazz Competition. She began playing the clarinet, closely
followed by the alto saxophone, even more closely followed by the tenor
saxophone, working her way through the ranks of her school band, Adjazz, as they
toured from La Rochelle to Los Angeles and Louisiana to
Liverpool.
Since
graduating from Leeds College of Music, she has performed with several ensembles
including the Laurie Holloway Trio and the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. Becki
is also a member of the 'Head and Neck Sessions', a Nu-jazz group based in
London, and has collaborated with Paul Hardcastle on the no. 1 selling Smooth
Jazz album Hardcastle 5.
