SPOTLIGHT
ARTIST: MARGARET BECKER
|
Songwriter,
electric guitarist, and vocalist Margaret Becker has had no less
than 14 superb number one radio hits and three distinguished Dove
Awards, and has been nominated for a Grammy four times during her
extraordinary Christian rock career -- and she's nowhere near done.
Born
to German/Irish parents, Becker was raised in Long Island, NY. When
she began performing, she did the coffeehouse circuit, playing where
and when she could. In between she studied journalism, taught music,
took opera lessons, and did odd jobs, even working as a department
store bill collector for years, just to pay the rent and keep food
on the table.
In 1985,
only weeks after moving to Nashville so she could devote all of
her energy to her music, Becker was signed by the Sparrow Records
label, but as a songwriter, not a singer. Within a year, though,
she had the recording contract that she had prayed about. READ
