Bess Beckmann Bess Beckmann Los Angeles "I picked up my first guitar at age 12 and instantly knew what I wanted out of life. From that moment on, I began my musical journey singing and writing my own material. Sometimes, the lyrics just flow out of me. I close my eyes and the pen effortlessly floats across the paper. It's as if something else takes over and it truly is the most profound, spiritual experience I have ever naturally encountered".
