Early career
Beckworth has been writing songs and singing since the age of 12. He started playing professionally when he was a student at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi. It was here that he released his debut solo album, Fairweather Grace, in 2007. Beckworth returned to Texas to attend St. Edward's University. After a year, Beckworth transferred to University of Texas at Austin where he graduated in 2010 with a degree in English and a minor in Spanish. He later took a job as a fishing guide in Alaska, and performed his music for the guests at the lodge where he worked.
Beckworth's name is known to fans of the hit single, "Mabel," which played on over 200 radio stations and was selected to appear in two independent films.
