ANNIE BECKER
Bohemian Songstress Annie Becker has been cloaking her audiences in a sea of sultry sounds for more years than she can count. This Island Girl fuses jazz guitar and raw vocals onto festival stages, dance floors, and yoga studios from Rifflandia and Atmosphere Gathering, to Stretch Yoga and Beaumont Studios.
Becker started writing music on beaches of the West Coast and after moving to Montreal cut her first record, ‘All About the Beez Neez,’ with Ambrosia Records. This 16 piece folk-jazz album showcases horns, quirky lyrics, rhythm, and bass. And, in 2014 Annie was awarded Vancouver Island’s Vocalist of the Year and was nominated for 3 other awards including album of the year.
In 2016 Annie cut her second album ‘Back to the City,’ with Cave Studios on Vancouver Island. She laces Latin grooves with a taste of rockabilly and jazz. The music is stripped down to showcase the rawness of Becker’s Vocals.
Over the winter of 2017, Annie started exploring a new sound. These electronic, RnB and Hip Hop inspired looping soundscapes to come from Annie’s exploration into dance and layering vocals and sounds with a loop station. ‘Your Universe,’ is the first of many singles to be released through to 2020.
