Bec Abbot is a Canadian pop singer. She first starting singing publicly as a little girl in front of her father's church. After that local churches began calling her for Sunday mornings, banquets and special events. During High School Bec sang in choirs and for friends' weddings. In 1997 vocal coach Elaine Overholt recognized Bec's talent and introduced her to Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Blaise Pascal. Bec began singing back-up vocals for Pascal even opening for bands like Our Lady Peace and Tom Cochrane. It wasn't until Bec moved outside Toronto that she began to write her own music. In 2002 Bec recorded a three song EP and it reached the ears of Roy Salmond who would produce Bec's independent album Shine Like Stars in 2003. Shine Like Stars was well received even garnering a Juno nomination. In late 2005 Bec released her second album Not So Hip.
