Refund Policy: No refunds
beccs is an indie pop artist hailed as one of NYLON Magazine’s “favorite cool girls”, A John Lennon Songwriting Finalist, and an “indie-pop vocalist of astonishing candor” by the HuffPost. Holding up a mirror to herself and society at large, beccs confronts and heals audiences with a soul-stirring voice that is as dynamic as it is vulnerable. Steeped in music from birth, fearless on stage from childhood, beccs – Becca Gastfriend at the time – was an innate songbird. She moved to New York to study acting at Tisch School of the Arts, where she began gigging and making her first record. Blending a playful modern songwriting with a powerful voice akin to classic 60’s Laurel Canyon, the indie pop artist has been critically acclaimed by Refinery29, NYLON, Atwood Magazine, Huffington Post Queer Voices, Popdust, LADYGUNN and featured on The BUILD Series with Monet X Change from RuPaul’s Drag Race for her queer-inclusive Christmas music video "Before This Christmas Ends". beccs has toured the East Coast, played SXSW, and most recently opened for Pussy Riot at Adhoc x Audiofemme’s unofficial SXSW showcase in Austin. Her forthcoming EP stay moist is a bold, edgy, indie pop record “bursting with color, soulful vocals…[and] a hook you won’t get out of your head.” -The Daily Skimm

Born and raised in South Carolina, the daughter of a lightning photographer and a songwriter, Ginger Winn has dedicated her life to singing and songwriting since the age of 9. She did not attend or complete high school after the age of 16. She could not imagine doing anything with her life other than making music, so she didn’t bother pursuing anything else…but of course she had to take on jobs to survive. One job that stuck was working as a pastry chef for over three years while making music. Ginger was talented at the job but tortured by the idea that what she really needed to be making for people was music not cakes. She needed to escape.

Born and raised in South Carolina, the daughter of a lightning photographer and a songwriter, Ginger Winn has dedicated her life to singing and songwriting since the age of 9. She did not attend or complete high school after the age of 16.

One job that stuck was working as a pastry chef for over three years while making music. Ginger was talented at the job but tortured by the idea that what she really needed to be making for people was music not cakes. She needed to escape.
A little over 2 years ago, Ginger started working as a freelance music producer online – taking on commissioned work assignments by non-musicians who had an idea for a song either as a creative or to gift the song to a loved one. One of the websites she tried was Upwork. Her first assignment came from Tina Baione. Her husband, Matthew, had been writing poems that he only showed to her. While she appreciated the intimacy of the private poems, Tina always felt more people deserved to hear this poetry – and that it wasn’t poetry at all, it was song lyrics. So, she made a posting searching for a freelance singer to turn poetry into songs. Ginger responded to the posting in March of 2022 and sent back the original version of what has become the new single, “Super 8.” She later moved to South Africa to be with her boyfriend who is also a musician.
For the past two years, Ginger, Matt, and Tina have been making music together as an art collective. Everything they make is grounded in the visuals – how it looks and feels has always been as important as how it should sound.
