Becca
Lead Vocals
Becca is excited to be back singing after a break to pursue other ambitions. But she is back fronting 4bar with her strong versatile voice.
Being in love with singing from a young age, Becca would grab any opportunity to sing where ever possible. The likes of Whitney, Celine and the Carpenters were great inspirations but Buddy Holly took the lead and was the first ever record purchase! Becca started on the music scene in 2001 singing at local pubs, clubs and holiday camps.
After a break from the scene Becca joined the Military Wives choir and in 2012 had the amazing opportunity to record at Abbey Road studios with Gary Barlow and Gareth Malone. Later she had the opportunity to attend the Queens Diamond Jubilee to perform ‘Sing’ along side other Military wives, the Commonwealth Band, Gary Barlow and the one and only Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Becca says, "I love how powerful music can be, it can really change the atmosphere".
