Writing songs as far back as she can remember, Becki never had the confidence to sing in public until she was persuaded to enter a local singing competition, which, to her amazement, she won. After the competition Becki was asked to sing at various venues and functions and a string of ‘cover’ songs featuring Becki began appearing on the ‘You Tube’ site.
