Beck was born Bek David Campbell, on July 8th 1970 in Los Angeles California, and started playing music around the age of 10 riding the Los Angeles buses and improvising lyrics to old folk and country blues songs, influences you can hear in his span of releases. With roots in folk music he has become one of the most genre-defying artists of all time with a knack for beautifully blending a range of other influences from country, jazz, hip hop, R&B, pop and rock.
