International treasure Becky Bass, a native of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, is celebrated for her "euphoric steel pan playing, soulful voice, and powerful stage presence." Becky is thrilled to share her exhilarating iconic Caribbean Soul steel pan music solo, or with her band for special events from intimate gatherings to weddings, festivals, and large-scale fundraisers/galas.
A two-time New England Urban Music Award and RI Motif Award winner, she has performed her signature Caribbean Soul music both nationally and internationally at renowned venues such as the Porgy and Bess Jazz Club in Vienna, Austria, Dizzy’s Jazz Club @ Lincoln Center, Chicago’s Underground Wonder Bar and the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, sharing stages with Grammy and Emmy-winning artists including Joshua Bell, Yellowman, and Wyclef Jean. She also was the featured vocalist in a world premiere piece written just for her “incomparable voice” by Daniel Bernard Roumain, performed with the New Jersey Symphony under maestro Xian Zhang.
A graduate of Brown University in Theatre Arts & Performance Studies as well as a newly appointed professor at Berklee College of Music, Becky is also an accomplished actor, appearing in several productions such as Once on This Island, Hairspray, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Little Shop of Horrors, Rent, and Yermedea at the infamous La MaMa Theatre, and as well as serving as Associate Costume Designer for the Off-Broadway production of Lights Out: Nat “King” Cole at New York Theatre Workshop.
