BIOGRAPHY
Beck David Hansen grew up between Los Angeles, Kansas, and Europe, the son of string arranger David Campbell and Bibbe Hansen, an artist connected to Andy Warhol's Factory. He left school young, busked on the streets, and got involved with New York's antifolk scene before his 1994 single 'Loser,' from the album Mellow Gold, made him an unlikely worldwide star. Across a discography of 14 studio albums, Beck has moved fluidly through folk, funk, soul, hip hop, electronic, alternative rock, country, and psychedelia, building a reputation as a restless musical collagist rather than a fixed stylist. Albums like Odelay, Sea Change, The Information, and Morning Phase have anchored a career that critics regularly cite among the most inventive of his generation.
