It was a real pleasure getting to hang out with today's #ArtistAtHome. Please meet David Beckingham of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»bandÌý!ÌýDavid grew up in England, Kenya and BC at various stages during his childhood and says that has led to an interestingly odd sense of belonging to one and all of these places at the same time. He is passionate about the outdoors and has gone on some amazing rafting trips in Northern BC.
Over a year ago he sufferedÌýa huge scare with his vocal chords and narrowly avoided requiring surgery and running the risk of permanently affecting his vocal range by talking as little possible for months. DavidÌýhas just finished up some European Tour dates with his new solo album 'Just When the Light". This work had him recording a lot of musicÌýwhere he acted asÌýan arranger and producer as well. ÌýWhen DavidÌýisn't working on his own music or with Hey Ocean, he also runsÌýÌý'Rock Camps' for kids in grades 4-7 and 8-12 where they can learn new guitar, bass, drum, keyboard and vocal skills, form their own bands, write songs and record them.
Many thanks to David for the fine visit!ÌýListen to him covering the The Be Good TanyasÌýÌý.Ìý
