Tess Becket is an emerging voice in the indie rock scene, known for her emotionally raw music and multifaceted talents as a producer, songwriter, and audio engineer. Her sound, inspired by many women in music, including King Princess, Hayley Williams, and Julien Baker, blends alternative rock with poetic lyricism. Since 2023, she has successfully released three singles, amassing over 100,000 Spotify streams, and completed her first tour in the U.S.
Based in York, Pennsylvania, Becket’s journey into music began with a deep love for poetry, which evolved into songwriting when she was just thirteen. This passion deepened after a life-changing experience with the onset of a chronic illness. Becket found solace and a new identity in music, which sparked her love for performance and set her on the path to a creative career. Upon releasing her debut single, “Toxic,” the song’s dark, raw production and intimate vocal struck a chord with listeners and amassed over 50,000 streams in the first year. Following the success of “Toxic,” Tess released “Drink” and “Los Angeles,” two vocally driven songs about navigating the end of a difficult relationship while staying sober. She then embarked on her first tour in 2025, FIRST THINGS FIRST: The East Coast Tour, performing eleven shows across five states.
​
Becket’s upcoming release on Valentine’s Day, “craving,” is a breezy, early-2000s-inspired pop track that captures the hopeful beginning of a queer relationship. Her music is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

"Tess has built her musical identity between poetic lyrics and arrangements that feel honest. Her skill as a producer, composer, and sound engineer is evident in every detail. In previous songs, she has demonstrated her ability to speak about complex relationships from a place of vulnerability, something also evident [in "Los Angeles"], with a narrative that advances without pretense."
- Rafael Méndez with Oleada Indie (translated)
“‘Toxic’ immediately establishes Tess as an artist with a flair for immersive songwriting and storytelling, diving into the deep end with a track steeped in gravity and rawness.”
- Kieran Rogers with Clout
