New Unauthorized Beth Biography!!

Not really. I wrote it myself. It's not easy to write stuff about yourself, but I realized that there was no bio information on any of my multitude of websites. Here we go...

I consider myself one of the lucky ones...I discovered something I'm completely passionate about at a young age. And that's all any of us really need to be happy...something to be excited about!

But I don't know if I found it or it found me. My maiden name was Singer, I once lived on Speaker Rd, and I was making up songs and singing solos in Church by the time I was 5. I really feel like God has been guiding me into this since I was a little girl. He not only gave me a voice, but also the choice to use it.

I grew up in several little towns in Oregon. Recorded my first demo when I was barely 14, started performing with bands that same year, met my amazing Husband when I was 15 (he played guitar on my 1st CD & was the 1999 National Flatpicking Champion), I sang in front of over 20,000 people by the time I was 16, made an album in Nashville when I was 17, opened for major acts before I was 18, and was performing 6 nights a week when my 19th Birthday rolled around.

I won over a dozen "Indie Artist" awards during my teen years, but when it was time for my 20's, this thing called "real life" took over. I moved out on my own for the first time, started working a day job, married my sweetheart, bought a house, and found that music still owns me...

So we packed up our little cars (Tucker & Chloe) and headed East to Austin, Texas - the "Live Music Capital of the World". We had our condo-buying experience chronicled on an episode of HGTV's House Hunters and quickly settled into our lovely new life. We now own an Advertising/Marketing/Design Agency in Downtown Austin and have been so blessed to find friends that love life as much as we do!

Songwriting is currently my biggest thrill. My ambition is to write for other artists and for special projects. I'm about to release my new album "Minutes With You" in 2008, and one of the most personal songs we've recorded pretty much sums up my emotional state...I Am From Hopeful.
