At the age of 10, she enrolled in some Suzuki method violin classes and began performing with her parents in a band called Prairie Grass.

Success quickly followed when in 1996, she won the Minnesota Junior Fiddling Championship. Her biggest fiddling influences are Kenny Baker, Curly Ray Cline, Stuart Duncan,  Alison Krauss, Eddie Stubbs and Jason Carter.
In her high school years Becky began trying her hand at song writing and won first place in the Hank Williams Songwriting Contest held in Avoca, Iowa in 1996.
In 1998 she was thrilled to be a part of the International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA) Songwriter Showcase during the World of Bluegrass bluegrass conference in Louisville, Kentucky. In 2001, she was awarded the first-place prize in the bluegrass category of the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at MerleFest in Wilksboro, North Carolina. Her songwriting heroes include Paul Simon, Gillian Welch, James Taylor, Darrell Scott and Patty Griffin.
