The BeatMix Journey: How It All Began

BeatMix Music began in 2012 with one simple goal: create custom music for all event experiences. Founder Becca Kaufman and Business Partner Mike Weber set out to form a company where they could connect with not just brides but all types of clients. With Becca’s background in theater and live performance and Mike’s expertise in sound engineering, they decided to create something revolutionary.

They started BeatMix Music to fill the niche for customizable, high-quality event entertainment. Their philosophy was simple: every event deserves a personalized touch and outstanding musical excellence. The Becca Kaufman Orchestra (BKO) was their first collaboration, quickly becoming a staple in Chicago’s luxury event scene. Their belief has guided BeatMix Music since its inception, shaping it into the premier entertainment company it is today.

Becca Kaufman

A native New Yorker, Becca moved to Chicago to attend Northwestern University’s renowned theatre program. Beginning her career as one of the most sought-after jingle writers/session vocalists in Chicago, Becca quickly expanded her talents to producing musical showcases and albums, providing commercial voice overs, and becoming a wedding expert featured on TV and radio—including her own radio show “I Do, I Do” on 105.9fm, WCKG. Becca has been leading her own society band, BKO, for the past 14 years and nearly 10 years ago launched BeatMix Music, hoping to match every client with an unparalleled music experience. Becca has appeared on stage with performers such as Lily Tomlin, Brooke Shields, Phoebe Snow, Tony Roberts, and Ellen Burstyn and a few years ago was a spotlight performer in the Broadway Chicago Concert in Millennium Park singing for over 19,000 people. She is also in the feature film Scrooge & Marley, appearing as a comedic cabaret singer. And, should you wonder where her hometown loyalties reside—she has sung the National Anthem for both the world-champion Chicago Bulls and her forever-losing New York Knicks. Becca feels privileged to have a life and career in music.

Mike Weber

Mike hails from the state of Cal-i-for-ni-yay and has been involved in the music industry since the age of 16. After working his first private event at the Standard Club in Chicago, he quickly realized how integrated music is in every moment of an event’s ultimate success. Mike has dedicated his career to understanding all particulars of an event, while maintaining an open ear to his clients, to meld a harmonious flow on every engagement. As Director of Sales + Logistics at BeatMix Music, he oversees the behind-the-scenes details of every event. He is a favorite with clients and BeatMix Music bandleaders because of his authenticity and compassion. Mike ensures that the client’s musical vision is accomplished and that all elements of each performance are meticulously planned and executed. Days off are rare for Mike, but when he is not helping to make memories for his clients, he is out fishing.

Tammy Bendoff

Tammy is more than an office manager, she is the glue that keeps BeatMix Music together. A Chicagoland native, Tammy is the BeatMix Music gatekeeper. She is the kind voice clients first hear when calling the office and the initial one to respond to inquiries. She has an amazing ability to juggle multiple tasks at one time, yet still finds ways to keep everyone and everything organized and balanced. Tammy thrives on creativity and fits right in with our diverse crew. Her top 3 live performances so far have been Richard Marx, Jason Mraz, and Sarah McLachlan. When not on Facebook, you can find Tammy hanging out with her family and friends, giving back to multiple organizations that are close to her heart, and drinking a fair amount of Diet Coke.
