London-based singer/songwriter (and all around bad ass bitch), Bebe Black is most certainly deserving of the "ONE TO WATCH" title. Black has one of those voices that you just can't get enough of. Blessed with versatile voice and impressive vocal range, Bebe Black could easily have had her pick of musical genres.
