It only takes one verse of a song for you to know you are in the presence of a special entertainer. You're overcome by a feeling she's singing to you personally.  Well, that's Becky Blackaby. There are many talented singers in the entertainment world; however, there are only a few who possess a pure voice that actually creates music to captivate an audience. Becky is one of those few!  
 
Born and raised on a farm near Paris, Missouri, and singing before she could talk, Becky was always entertaining her family. She was fortunate that her talents were influenced and nurtured by a family who loved to sing and enjoyed and appreciated all types of music; however, her voice and her ability to entertain were a gift from God, which she loves to share with others. 
 
It has been an exciting few years to watch Becky Blackaby’s journey. In 2007, Becky became an "Elite 8" Finalist in CMT's Music City Madness II Contest, as Becky’s fans voted for her original song and video, Eye Games. “I am soooo thankful for that contest and the support everyone gave me, because it put me on the map.” The contest helped Becky mature from a local singer in Paris, MO, to a more regional act. Always giving 110%, her fan base continues to grow. 
 
Considering musical styles, Becky does not like to be put into a particular genre, although she is obviously influenced by Music Row’s country talent. One such talent is singer-songwriter and co-host of The Music Row Show, Scott Southworth, who helped Becky in penning her new single, Kelly’s Got a Boyfriend. When both sat down to begin their writing session, Scott asked, “What do you wanna write about?” Not having any hard ideas, Becky began telling Scott about one of her close friends who happened to come with her during her trip to town. “We talked the whole way down. My friend was telling me about this guy she’d met, and I was really taken by her story.  I’d met him once, and I’d already gotten a good vibe…when she started giving me the scoop, I was like, Oh yeah, he’s the one”. As the story unfolded, Scott started playing this cool, upbeat groove…and so it began. “When I played the song for my band, they helped take the song to a whole new level. I remember thinking…This is the kind of song I’ve been searching for. I LOVE performing it, so many women can relate to it, and the cool thing is that it’s about one of my best friends!” 
 
Becky's drive to succeed is obvious. Her playful demeanor and warm smile counter a very serious side – the side you need to make life-changing commitments and to take consistent action in a business that isn’t kind. Becky juggles a busy schedule as a wife, working part-time as a speech-language pathologist, and maintaining a steady performance schedule between Missouri and Nashville. Becky writes her own music, has independently sold over 1,000 CDs, and opened shows for artists such as Steel Magnolia, Josh Thompson, The Jane Dear Girls, Randy Houser, Little Texas, Shooter Jennings and Cowboy Crush, all of which exemplify her quest to entertain.
 
You get a total package when Becky performs. She's an entertainer with stage presence, marketability, and talent...with the vocals to back it up.
