Since then, he has performed with the renowned Nashville Symphony, written with R&B legend Brian McKnight, opened for Jon Bellion and Allen Stone, charted on iTunes multiple times and earned a Teen Choice Award nomination for Music’s Next Big Thing.

His artistry caught the attention of legendary producer Quincy Jones, who signed Beckham to Quincy Jones Management in 2017. Jones praised him as “an absolutely unforgettable talent” and included Beckham’s original song “I Need” in a collection of his favorite songs, alongside recordings by such celebrated artists as Michael Jackson, George Benson, Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd. Beckham spent three years as an artist under Jones’s guidance.

In addition to Acoustic Worship Sessions, Beckham’s catalog includes four EPs, the full-length album Light Year, a string of original singles and an ever-growing collection of head-turning covers that continue to introduce his musicianship to new audiences.

Beyond the stage and recording studio, Beckham is passionate about developing the next generation of artists, songwriters and worship leaders.

He also travels throughout the United States to perform, speak and lead workshops on worship, singing, songwriting and music theory.

Beckham serves as an adjunct professor at The Belonging Co College in Nashville and Oaks College in Red Oak, Texas, bringing professional experience, practical instruction and spiritual insight into the classroom.
