We had the good fortune of connecting with Becena and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Becena, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I really can’t do much else. It’s probably more of a negative character trait than a positive one but I hate the idea of having someone tell me what do to. I’m sort of contrarian by nature so I’ve always gravitated towards things that go against the “norm”. At the end of the day it’s about having total freedom, low stress, and feeling fulfilled. If I can keep food on the table, a roof over my head, and can keep buying records I’m good.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My career is just starting so to give any advice would feel foolish but I guess I would say START NOW. No one is going to change your life except you. You could die tomorrow so fuck it, CREATE!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Check out bishop arts! Great area to hear some quality music from quality musicians. Also Triumphs in the design district. As for food, if there’s a taqueria in a gas station, it will be incredible. Go visit the speakeasy’s too.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I wouldn’t be anywhere without the love and support from my parents. They have supported me since day 1 and have always been by my side.
