Becca's US Debut EP Kickin & Screamin to Street on September 29 at All Digital Outlets

FULL CD COMING IN JANUARY 2010

JOINS FORCES WITH OMGPOP.com FOR ROCK N' ROLL GAMING


A self-described “rock chick” who was singing before she learned to walk, Portland, OR, native Becca's gets set to conquer the states with the release of her debut EP Kickin & Screamin, out in September 29 to be followed by her debut album Alive!! in 2010, both distributed by Sony's RED.

This 20-year-old shows a maturity far beyond her years on songs like “I'm ALIVE!,” her vow to live life to the fullest in the wake of the premature death of a friend. Songs examining personal relationships, such as “Guilty Pleasure,” and “Lose You Now” show a young woman wise beyond her years.

Signing with Sony Music Japan in 2008, Becca released her first album, and began her journey. Two of the album's songs, “Guilty Pleasure” and “Falling Down,” were used as the beginning and end themes to a hit anime series, Ultraviolet: Code 044, which also featured Becca's voice as the show's title character. She's also performed at the country's largest outdoor concerts, Summer Sonic Festival, in Osaka and Tokyo, and has managed to attract an impressive following with her explosive live show.

At 14, a mutual acquaintance introduced Becca to Meredith Brooks, who was looking for a young female rocker to work with and encouraged her to send a demo. The veteran performer took Becca under her wing and the two hit it off almost immediately, co-writing a number of songs including “I'm ALIVE!” and “Guilty Pleasure.”

Becca's single “I'm ALIVE!” is already making a splash on OMGPOP.com's Hit Machine, a new multiplayer music game a leading online social multiplayer gaming site. In the tradition of playing along with your favorite tracks, Hit Machine brings the console music gaming concept online, multiplayer, and free. With the ability to play live against six other people competing at multiple difficulties, it makes music gaming truly a social experience accessible from any computer anytime. This week OMGPOP.com was named as the only gaming site on Time Magazine's 50 best websites of 2009.

Look for Becca's EP to be followed by her debut album in 2010—Becca is ready to tackle the American market.
