Who is Becca Schack?

Becca Schack's voice purrs like a badass sex kitten with an attitude. Juilliard-trained composer and electro-pop artist, Becca Schack tells intimate stories of her life with provocative boldness. Her music sounds like Debby Harry meets Bjork on roller skates.

Born in upstate New York to artistically inclined parents, Becca grew up entertaining friends and family members at birthday parties and family gatherings. As a young child, she took pleasure in forcing her sister to play duets and sing harmonies. When her mother finally called the local piano teacher to sign her up for lessons, the word had already spread like wildfire. Now based in NYC, Becca's originality and technical prowess have brought her to music venues spanning New York, Boston, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Mexico.

At the tender age of eleven, “hearing music rustling in the wind” of her tree-house, Becca started winning public recognition for her compositions at ASCAP's Young Composers competitions. She is a Gold Record recipient for the Trans Siberian Orchestra's “The Lost Christmas Eve” album, a Finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (Electronic Division) for her song “Metal Factory,” and has regular music placements on network television.

Her musical background is both broad and deep. At Julliard School, she studied with world-renowned classical composers Samuel Adler, Christopher Rouse and electronic music guru Elliott Sharp. She has composed for ensembles such as Melodia Women's Choir and Ballet Austin II, and has worked with some of New York's finest musicians including Mark Wood, Eric Mingus, Alex Skolnick, Teddy Thompson and members of the New York Philharmonic. She's rocked out with bands Cantinero, Samsara, Braindance, Tonica and released a video poking fun of the Cabaret License law in NYC defending artistic expression.

After exploring many genres that shape her current style and musical tastes (including pop, dance, chill-out, progressive dark wave, rock and classical) Becca returned to the studio with a new mission: allow the music to be created naturally without any attachment to any particular style or formula. The result is a beautiful culmination of her musical influences and life experiences. What you will hear on her new EP is a journey of self-realization. There is a pure sense of authenticity there, at the same time it oozes with romance and sensuality, as though there is electricity running through every word.

As she prepares to release her EP, Becca's talents can be experienced through her regular stage performances around the New York City Metropolitan area and beyond.
