Meet VICKY BEECHING; in her own words

Growing up, my house was always soaked with music. When Mum put me to bed at night, she would make up little songs for me. She started to let me finish the last line, coming up with my own ending to the songs. It was a great game and I guess that was my early start in songwriting!
Worship leading began for me one cold, Britishly cloudy Sunday when I was about 12 years old. My local Church was gathered and ready to begin the service. The silence was broken by an announcement that the worship leader was unwell. Suddenly I was invited to step up to the microphone and lead for the first time. From that ‘nervously-take-a-deep-breath-and-sing’ beginning, the following years were a rollercoaster journey of invitations to lead at youth groups, events and conferences.
Throughout my teens I was permanently in my room with a guitar and a piano, playing and writing late into the night. One summer I borrowed the High School recording gear and filling our house with endless cables and wires; I recorded my own demo tape.
Vicky’s desire is to do more than express her own heart through singing and recording. She wants her music to serve the Church, equipping congregations with songs for worship. At every stage of the album - writing, arranging and recording - this has been an important value.
“My favourite thing about life on this planet, is knowing Jesus in the different twists and turns of daily life. Feeling His smile in the sun-drenched moments, and collapsing into His embrace on the tear stained days when the ceiling caves in. I love Converse high-tops, sushi, walking by the ocean and spending afternoons in vintage guitar stores. My dreams in life are… to make music that touches God’s heart and that draws people into His presence, to enjoy the journey – and maybe even learn to cook someday!”

Painting the Invisible (releases Apr. 3, 2007)

“PAINTING THE INVISIBLE” - Vicky says “Trying to describe the Eternal using earthly words, is like trying to scoop up the whole ocean into the palm of your hand. Yet, we joyfully struggle for words and continue on our worshipful quest of expressing the inexpressible; explaining the unfathomable; painting the invisible.”
Produced by Ed Cash and Nathan Nockels, “Painting the Invisible” contains Vicky’s first single, “Join The Song,” - a bright praise doxology. It is followed by the delightful “Hallelujah What a Savior” then “Great is Your Glory”.
Vicky Beeching is doing what she does best on “Painting The Invisible,” worshipping the God she obviously adores with “Suddenly,” “Every One Under the Sun,” “At All Times,” the edgy “Only Your Arms” and the majestic “Wonder of the Cross,” overlaid with airy celtic overtones. Beeching closes the project out with a warm touch, the very personal “Twenty Six Summers” chronicling her lifetime of loving God. Look for Vicky’s excellent sophomore album on April 3rd.
