Praise for Becky Brabham:

"I'd like to say a few things about Becky Brabham, a most talented vocalist and songwriter. I first met Becky in Daytona Beach in 2012 and shortly after she asked me to help with a recording she was working on. Initially, I was going to help her with the mix but we soon began to write together and I was immediately impressed with how quickly she could create wonderful melodies to the chords I would play.  Soon we were writing weekly and then recording each song. I would arrange the music and Becky would create the vocal arrangement. Her skill in the art of layering vocal lines and background harmonies is outstanding, always beautifully constructed and voiced. And her lead vocal ability is amazing, her voice powerful, rich, and controlled. There's no need for studio trickery, no need for autotune, she's the real deal!! One of the best singers I've had the pleasure to work with.

The resulting recording, "I FOUND MYSELF", is a terrific collection of songs that really showcase Becky's range as an artist, both vocally and compositionally. It's a project that I listen to with pride and joy, marveling at her magnificent instrument and feeling blessed that we could create together. I can only encourage anyone that has a chance to work with Becky Brabham to do so without hesitation. She brings a level of artistry that will elevate any project she's involved with."

"One year ago, I had the pleasure of working with Becky Brabham on the world premiere of the play, "Slinky, The Musical!". From the very start, I could tell that Becky knew her "stuff". She not only wrote the music for the play with her father, but was also Co-Producer and Music Director for the show. In that capacity, she assisted me in the audition process by helping to select actors/singers who we agreed would be best for specific parts or for ensemble roles. Once we got into the rehearsal process, Becky worked her magic on areas that I thought need "tweaking". In addition, she worked with the actors/singers as much as they needed so they could present the songs as best/as they could! As a result, we were SOLD OUT on the final day of the show at the News Journal Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. I highly recommend working with Becky Brabham. She is a delight!

"I would like to take this opportunity to make a recommendation on behalf of my musical collaborator, Becky Brabham. I have known Becky for the past four years, and during this time I have worked with her in a professional partnership and during this time, we have also become personal friends.                                                                                                                                                                                          

Firstly, I would like to state that Becky is a person of infinite integrity. She is honest and straightforward, yet diplomatic and caring of all peoples in all ways. The will to lend a hand, chip in and is a consummate team player, with the ability to get her point across and contribute to the decision making process. Becky always seeks the higher ground, and looks for win-win solutions.                                                                    

Secondly, I have witnessed Becky's extraordinary plethora of talents. Becky has almost perfect pitch, is a chameleon in her vocal styles; be it show tunes, pop, rock, or ballads that she is singing. Her musical talents at the keyboard show the experience and versatility developed from her years playing in live bands, and accompanying other musicians. These experiences have also honed her vocal skills in the art of back-up harmonies as well as singing lead.

Thirdly, I was a witness to Becky helping to write, develop, and produce a new musical, "Slinky, The Musical", and had this performed at the News Journal Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. She was not only a composer of much of the music, but also helped with lyrics and the storyline development. The accompanying CD was produced by Becky.

Her instrument of choice is the keyboard, but she hits a good drum too! Her skills in this area can be heard in her own compositions on her professionally produced albums, where her crossover style of compositions, singing and playing is accessible to all listeners on CD Baby, ReverbNation, Spotify, YouTube and her website, BeckyBrabham.com                                                          

Fourthly, Becky is an excellent vocal coach. Her nurturing personality and enthusiasm elevate ones desire to improve and learn from her considerable experience in the music world. She has so much to offer in this area to singers and musicians of all standards.

Finally, it is in her capacity as a producer with an intuitive feeling of song and melody that we have collaborated. As I am a prolific composer and songwriter, with both a national and international lack of success (so far), Becky and I have completed six project albums, one a double album for a musical, "Match", and we have just recorded our one-hundredth song together. During these session, Becky collaborated and contributes ideas, coaches my vocals, adds BG vocals, produces the albums, adding keyboards and adds a multitude of instruments bringing the composition alive, often far beyond my original interpretations.

In conclusion, is with great pleasure I recommend Becky Brabham as not only one of the most accomplished singers I have ever heard, but as a talented coach, extremely proficient in the role of a producer in the studio and a multi-talented musician."

We are proud to call her one of or very best friends.

"It has been my complete honor to work on several musical projects with Becky Brabham. During those times, I always found her to be extremely pleasant to work with. Becky is always able to come up with great ideas for the projects and flexible to receive input from others when collaborating. Becky always puts forth a full effort to improve on past accomplishments and I always find her to be honest and fair.      In closing, I highly recommend her character, talent and abilities to anyone inquiring."

"I worked with Becky Brabham over five years in a very successful traveling band. She is very talented both as a singer and front person. Also plays keyboards. She was always on time and prepared. She is and has remained a dear friend of mine, a classy lady who I will always enjoy working with."

"Becky Brabham found my studio here in New Smyrna Beach a few years ago and asked me to help her with some songs and recordings.  I had never met her before and had no knowledge of her abilities.  Once we started working on music it was a WOW! moment for me.  Man can this woman sing!  With a charming and effervescent personality and an obvious skill with all facets of music production it became an absolute joy to work with her each time we were together.  Becky is without a doubt a Professional.  Well practiced in her trade and very, very good at what she does.  Our friendship grew to the point that I became involved with her family and especially her Father Bob who is obviously the root of her love for music and skills with production.  She has an incredible "drive" to get things done and get them done right.  Hugely creative with both writing music and words that are dripping with emotion, impact and feel.  These dayz you do not come across talent like this very often and I consider myself very lucky to have worked with her and look forward to doing it again."

"When I did voice lessons with Becky, for the amount of time I did, she was amazing. Going to someone teaching me about my voice was different for me, considering being self taught. (with some help from my older sister throughout the years.) The first day I met Becky, she taught me some voice warmup exercises. I wasn’t comfortable with doing them at first because I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know if Becky would be very strict, mean, or nice. I have to say she is a very sweet and genuine person, just as much as she is of a teacher. 

One of the voice warmups I was taught was, the AEIOU method, which is my favorite method and had worked best for my voice. Also some other simple things we worked on were trying to hold a note for as long as we could, timing with a timer so we could keep improving. She also had me record one of the songs I sing and told me what I can do to improve the sound of what I should and shouldn’t be doing with my voice. Becky had also taught me opening my mouth wider or bigger would make me sound more prominent. I was also trying out for American Idol and Americas Got Talent at the time that Becky and I were doing lessons. Becky was a great help to boost my confidence, also helping me choose the best songs for the auditions. 

All in all, Becky is an amazing voice coach! I recommend her to anybody looking for a great voice coach, as well as a person. I give Becky a million stars out of five. She is also one of the best singers I've ever heard, so you know you're learning from an amazingly experienced singer."

Re: Becky Brabham

"My experience with Becky was such a positive one!  Not only did she go out on a limb to cast me in the lead role of Betty James in Slinky The Musical, she also encouraged me to try something I had never tried before with my singing voice.  With her encouragement and coaching I learned how to control my vibrato and all but eliminate it in most of the songs, also singing in my lower range that before had always been difficult for me.  With diligence and practice, I mastered it.  She also helped me with my expression during the recording of the voice overs for the play’s narration.  She was full of positive praise from beginning to end.  She was steady and reliable throughout the rehearsals and the performances.  I am proud to call her my friend."

To Whom It May Concern:

"I had the positive experience of working with Becky Brabham as co-producers of the new play Slinky the Musical, which ran at the News-Journal Center in Daytona Beach, Fla. In January of 2017. We worked together on all aspects of the production, from securing a venue to public relations and ticket sales, to all aspects of the actual stage production. I found her to be a pleasure to work with. She is perceptive, industrious, and skilled in many areas of the performing arts. If given another opportunity to work with her I would not hesitate to say yes."
