Vicky Beeching grew up in Canterbury, Kent, United Kingdom. Vicky began writing songs from the age of 11, and leading worship since her early teens. She went to an all girls school in Canterbury from 11 to 18.
She then got accepted to Oxford. While earning her Theology degree at Oxford University,[2] she was trained by Brian Doerksen and Brenton Brown at Oxford Vineyard. She also recorded with Vineyard Music UK during that time.
Before her move to Nashville, Tennessee, Beeching worked with Soul Survivor UK. In December 2002, she released the Shelter EP through EMI UK[3] and was featured on various Soul Survivor and Vineyard albums.
After moving to the United States, Vicky Beeching signed with Sparrow Records and released a 2005 EP, titled The Journey.[4] Her first full-length Sparrow album, Yesterday, Today & Forever, was released on December 27, 2005.[5]
Her second full-length studio album, Painting the Invisible, was produced by Ed Cash and Nathan Nockels and released on April 3, 2007.[6] Beeching wrote most of the album's material, although a few tracks include songwriting from Ed Cash, Matthew West and Joy Williams.[7] Several of the songs for the album were written on Keith Green’s old piano, at the invitation of her mentor and friend, Melody Green.
Her third studio album "Eternity Invades" released in 2010, recorded in San Diego California. It features a co-write with Steve Fee titled "Glory To God Forever".
In 2011, Beeching decided to base her touring out of the UK again, and moved just south of London. She is frequently in the States for gigs, and is writing for a new album. She works closely with Spring Harvest and Compassion UK, wanting to see the world become a better place for those in need.
On Dec 9th, 2011, Beeching announced on her personal blog that she would be starting a PhD in Theology at the University of Durham in January 2012.
