How did Beck become famous?

Beck is a unique musician, who can play various musical instruments. He creates unusual mixes and writes original songs. Now his career way is marked with numerous awards and honors.

So, it happened in this way.

Beck was born in a family of musicians. His father, David, used to be a popular musician in his native Canada and his mother, Bibbe, used to be a visual artist.

Beck was influenced by various musical cultures in his early years and in his teens. His father from the mother’s side was a Presbyterian minister, so Beck listened to church hymns, when he spent time in his grandfather’s house.

Grandfather from his father’s side took the boy to Europe, where he heard European rhythms. Finally, he was walking along the streets of his native Los Angeles and listened to its music. Thus Beck’s musical taste was formed under the influence of various musical trends. That’s why Beck’s sound is so unique now.

He started his career as a street musician. The talented performer, Beck was ready to play everywhere he was asked – at a party or in the night club. Thus he was noticed by Rob Schnapf from Bong Load Records, which helped Beck release his first single “Loser”, which later had become Beck’s visiting card.
