WORCESTER-based singer/songwriter Becky Rose is a rising star who brings a sense of theatre to her music.

The Base Sessions crew caught up with the young songstress for her solo gig at the Upton Music Festival where she played a selection of her own compositions and cover versions.

Her music ranges in style from dramatic and orchestral performances to mainstream pop melodies but with around 250 gigs on her track record she has plenty of experience in putting on a professional show.

Her CV also includes a number one on Amazing Radio’s Chart, and she has been played as an unsigned artist on Radio One and BBC 6 music.

Log on to the Base Sessions on this site to see an exclusive video feature including a backstage interview with Becky recorded after her gig at Upton.

The Base Sessions is recorded and produced by Base Media in Stourbridge.
