It could just as easily be describing Bea herself, as a new artist, who like many musicians, started young, growing up as part of a musical family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">With her musician parents encouraging her, Bea took inspiration from the likes of Amy Winehouse and Nina Simone, which led her to fronting jazz bands and singing blues covers with her school friends. She broadened her musical horizons in college, where she played keyboards in funk and soul bands, and honed her performance with lead roles in musicals at York St John University, where she studied for her degree in music. All these influences have combined to create a talented musician and vocalist, keen to make her mark on the pop landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Bea online on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bearichiemusic\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bearichiemusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">[otw_shortcode_divider margin_top_bottom=&#8221;30&#8243; text_position=&#8221;otw-text-left&#8221;][\/otw_shortcode_divider]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d1JLlkEb1K4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Released on Q22 Records 27 November, &#8216;Back At The Beginning&#8217;, the debut single from 22 year old singer-songwriter Bea Richie is an electronia pop soundscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":16423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[57,9],"tags":[3408,3887,3886,3890,1356,950,3888,939,77,1688,3889,1181,79,2867],"class_list":["post-16415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","tag-amy-winehouse","tag-back-at-the-beginning","tag-bea-richie","tag-electronica-pop","tag-jazz","tag-leeds","tag-musician","tag-new-ep","tag-new-release","tag-nina-simone","tag-q22-records","tag-singer-songwriter","tag-single","tag-york"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-4gL","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":84197,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2023\/09\/lebanese-singer-bea-kadri-takes-listeners-on-an-emotional-rollercoaster-with-debut-album-no-love-for-the-long-distance\/","url_meta":{"origin":16415,"position":0},"title":"Lebanese Singer Bea Kadri Takes Listeners On An Emotional Rollercoaster With Debut Album, &#8216;No Love For The Long Distance&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"22\/09\/2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Released on July 13, 'No Love For The Long Distance' is the 11 track debut album from singer songwriter, Bea Kadri.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Album Of The Week&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Album Of The Week","link":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/category\/music\/album-of-the-week\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cover-no-title-scaled.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cover-no-title-scaled.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cover-no-title-scaled.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cover-no-title-scaled.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cover-no-title-scaled.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":76434,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2022\/06\/elisha-releases-latest-single-my-beauty\/","url_meta":{"origin":16415,"position":1},"title":"Elisha Releases Latest Single, &#8216;My Beauty&#8217;\u00a0","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"28\/06\/2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Taking her inspiration from the likes of Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nina Simone, Australian artist Elisha is set to win many fans with her new single, 'My Beauty'.
