VOYAGE MICHIGAN: CONVERSATIONS WITH LONDON BECK
Today we’d like to introduce you to London Beck.
Hi London, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
As a child, I grew up in Ann Arbor, MI where I was raised by my paternal grandparents. My parents were divorced and I lived with my mother and two older sisters until my mother passed away at the age of 5. I remember waking up one day and realizing that she hadn’t woken me up to get me ready for kindergarten.

Ann Arbor's London Beck to bring genre-bending bangers to the Blind Pig
Ann Arbor’s London Beck is a perfect storm. Burlesque-pop and hip-hop come together with loungey dance-floor jams for Beck’s recently released six-track Drift EP, on which Beck channels the Weeknd and Ariana Grande with hip-rolling musings on intimacy and late-night decisions. Curiously, their background is a bit more traditional, as Beck has spent most of their life playing piano by ear and close to nine years playing the viola — and a brief stint at New York University as a viola performance major, which might explain Beck’s penchant for complex and lush arrangements. Atlanta-based artists Mebo and Myleage are also on the bill.
