WAUKESHA
- Award-winning singer and songwriter Becca Richter is about
to hit the television airways with a new single and music
video. It will debut Monday on “The Morning Blend”
television show, which can be seen at 9 a.m. on Channel 4.
The
award-winning Waukesha native’s new single, “You’re the
One, Wedding Song” was shot in Waukesha and features several
familiar sights.
“I’m
so excited that I had the opportunity to film my first
professional music video in my hometown, Waukesha,” Richter
said. “Waukesha was the perfect setting for the song,
Viewers will recognize the beautiful riverfront, Retzner
Nature Center and my favorite coffee place, The Steaming
Cup.”
Richter
recorded the song in Nashville with producer Denny Martin and
top Nashville studio musicians, whose credits include Martina
McBride, Trace Adkins, Wynonna Judd, Dolly Parton, Mark
Chesnut and more.
“It
was amazing to record with seasoned musicians who have toured
with so many great country artists,” Richter said.
Richter
said the song has already received air play on several radio
stations across the country and is currently in the top 10 at
a Nashville radio contest.
Richter,
18, has been a main stage act for Freeman Friday Night Live,
performed at the Blue Bird Cafe in Nashville, opened for Craig
Morgan at last summer’s Waukesha County Fair as part of the
top singer competition and performed at Lichterfest for an
audience of about 20,000 people in Gmuden, Austria after
winning TRS Video of the Year.
Her
other achievements include winning Video of the Year in Season
3 of Teenage Rockstar, which allowed her to travel to Austria
and work with the band Papermoon. She also composed the
original song, “Taken,” which earned her the 2009
People’s Choice Award at Delafield Idol. Richter’s song,
“Favorite Place,” was the grand prize winner of the 2012
Teen YobiSing contest. She also debuted original music in
Nashville.
Richter
was awarded the 2012 Distinguished Young Woman of Waukesha, a
national scholarship program that honor scholastics,
leadership and talent. She also earned a 2012 Wisconsin Area
Music Industry “Rising Star” nomination.
She
is a student at the University of Mobile, where she is
studying worship leadership with an emphasis in music
business.
Richter’s
upcoming local performances include 5 p.m. Tuesday at the
Waukesha Underground Radio in the Guitar 4 Life Studio, 277 W.
Main St. and 7 p.m. Nov. 24 at Montecito Ristorante, 257 W.
Broadway. She is also scheduled to appear at The Steaming Cup
in December.
Richter
is looking forward to having local fans see the debut of the
video.
“I’m
super excited that the video will debut on ‘The Morning
Blend.’ I want to thank everyone who was involved in the
project. I couldn’t have done it without you. I am truly
blessed.” |
