Becky Sikasa

When the BBC named Becky Sikasa »Scottish Act of the Year« earlier this spring, the excitement was palpable – louder than some goal celebrations in a cup final. And rightly so: the charismatic songwriter proves with every note just how well-deserved the accolade is. Sensitivity and strength merge into an elegant hybrid of soul, R&B, and jazz. Becky Sikasa comes from a musical family, and her vocal talent was already turning heads in her parents’ music room when she was still in nursery school. That early gift soon grew into a deep passion – one that carried the multi-instrumentalist far beyond the city limits of Edinburgh. Her nuanced vision is taking neo-soul to the next level.
