Quotes

“Our whole culture in this country now is so conformist. I don't even meet that many freaks any more.”
“I think it's interesting being American, the expectations for an American guy, and the image that has to be projected. 'Oh, I can't wear pink,' that kind of stuff. There's none of that in Europe.”
“We had one night where I wanted a bunch of percussion noises at the end of song. We went into this room with three cases of percussion. Everybody just grabbed different shakers and things and was just throwing them around.A few of the guys in the band got a little carried away and I just remember looking up and somebody was running into a wall. Another guy was leaping head first about three of four feet in the air. But other than that it was pretty sedated.”
“I think I gave indications early on that mine wasn't just going to be a commercial, er, career. If that were the case, then the first record would have been 10 versions of 'Loser.' I always thought it would be interesting if there was no such thing as gold and platinum records, or record deals, and people were just making music. What would the music sound like?”
“I don't need to cry so much. I think whatever you let loose with crying, I let loose with singing. I tend to be the one who wants... I'm trying to say this without sounding too touchy-feely. I'm usually the one who's better at comforting the person who's crying, you know?”
“I'm not good at the protocols of dating. [laughs] I'm not really experienced in that. My girlfriend is my second or third girlfriend. I think in the past none of us really knew when we were "dating"-we were just hanging out and doing things. I didn't go to high school so I missed the prom.”

Bek David Campbell (Los Ángeles, California, 8 de julio de 1970), conocido en el mundo artístico como Beck Hansen o Beck, es un músico, cantante, compositor y multinstrumentista de Estados Unidos. Con su sonido experimental, Beck saltó a la fama en la década de 1990 con su estilo lo-fi, y se hizo conocido por crear collages musicales de una amplia gama de estilos. Sus grabaciones abarcan todo tipo de estilos como folk, funk, soul, rock alternativo, hip-hop, electrónica, country y psicodelia. Beck ha lanzado doce álbumes de estudio, así como varios sencillos no incluidos en sus discos y un libro de partituras. Beck, a quien no le interesaban demasiado los estudios académicos, creció escuchando un sinfín de diversos sonidos, tanto folk, como blues, country, rock, pop, psicodelia o jazz, algo clave para su desarrollo como músico. A mediados de los años 80 comenzó a actuar en locales de su ciudad natal y a grabar sus primeras producciones caseras, como el demo Banjo Story. En Nueva York, se había impulsado el movimiento anti-folk, una serie de artistas que intenta reavivar esta música tradicional, esencialmente acústica, con actitudes punk. Beck –al igual que otros como Jeff Lewis, Adam Green, Ben Kweller o Regina Spektor– se apuntó a esta corriente. Se mudó a la Gran Manzana en 1989 y allí fue moldeando sus trazas como artista. Poco tiempo más tarde retornó a California a interpretar folk tocado con su gorro, con la guitarra acústica y la armónica. Pronto llamó la atención de Tom Rothrock y Rob Schnapf, quienes le pusieron en manos del productor Karl Stephenson (productor de los Geto Boys) para grabar en Bongload Records varios temas. Con una gran variedad de estilos musicales, irónicas letras de canciones, posmodernos arreglos que incorporan samples, cajas de ritmos, instrumentos y efectos de sonido en vivo, Beck ha sido aclamado por los críticos a lo largo de su carrera musical como uno de los músicos más creativos e idiosincrásicos de 1990 y 2000. Artista ganador cuatro veces del platino, se hizo popular en la cultura underground con sus primeras obras, que combinaba la crítica social (como en "MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack" y "Deep Fried Love") con la experimentación musical y lírica. La primera vez que ganó amplia atención del público fue por su sencillo "Loser", un éxito de 1994. Dos de las grabaciones más populares y aclamadas de Beck son Odelay (1996) y Sea Change (2002). Odelay fue galardonado con el álbum del año por la revista estadounidense Rolling Stone y en Reino Unido por las revistas NME y Mojo. Este álbum también recibió una nominación al Grammy como Álbum del año. Tanto Odelay como Sea Change aparecieron en la lista de Los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos según Rolling Stone. En febrero de 2014, Beck lanzó el álbum Morning Phase, con el cual ganó el Premio Grammy en la categoría Álbum del año, el 8 de febrero de 2015. Pronto después en 2017 lanzaría Colors la cual habría ganado 2 Grammys en 2019 como mejor álbum de música alternativa y mejor arreglo para álbum, no clásica. En 2019 lanzaría Hyperspace, con colaboración con el rapero y músico estadounidense Pharrell Williams. Pronto después en 2020 lanzaría una edición especial del mismo álbum llamado Hyperspace (2020), sin embargo, ese mismo año tuvo que cancelar varios conciertos y las reprogramó a una fecha posterior debido a la pandemia de COVID-19. A día de hoy es su último trabajo hasta el momento.
