Cruz Beckham offered fans a glimpse into his musical world and personal life this week, sharing candid Instagram photos from rehearsals with his band, The Breakers. The 20-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham was pictured in a series of affectionate moments with his music producer girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30, as they prepared for an upcoming London performance.
Preparing for a One-Night-Only London Show
The intimate studio snapshots come ahead of a significant milestone for the aspiring musician: a one-night-only London show at The Courtyard Theatre on Friday, March 27th. Cruz was seen focused on his craft, playing guitar with his bandmates, but also took time for lighter moments, larking around with both the band and Jackie. For the session, he cut a smart figure in an oversized white shirt, blue tie, and suit trousers.
Announcing the gig on social media, Cruz penned: 'First of many gigs go on sale at 10 Am on Wednesday, A night of new music, and a few you know (tickets in bio) can’t wait to see ya there'. This show marks a more official step after he recently completed a series of 15 unannounced gigs around the UK, which he documented in a video montage.
Building a Serious Music Career
Cruz Beckham's move into music is being pursued with considerable industry backing. Last year, he signed with top music management company C3, known for working with acts like The Strokes and Thirty Seconds To Mars, after an amicable split from TaP Music Management. A source indicated the new team is a better fit for his evolving rock-oriented sound.
His career development is also being guided by established names. It was reported last year that he struck up a friendship and songwriting partnership with The Kooks frontman, Luke Pritchard, who said he wanted to help Cruz navigate the industry. Furthermore, Cruz has been working with acclaimed writer Ed Frewett, responsible for multiple No.1 singles for acts like Little Mix and One Direction, and producers Fred Ball (Rihanna, Beyoncé) and Joe Rubel (Ed Sheeran).
A Lifelong Passion for Performance
Music is not a new venture for the youngest Beckham son. He kickstarted his career at just 11 years old, with his family reportedly investing heavily to help him develop his sound. He is a multi-instrumentalist, having learned to play the guitar, piano, drums, and even the mandolin.
Cruz released the festive single 'If Everyday Was Christmas' in 2016 and has been hinting at new music throughout the past year. His focus, he has said, is on 'just making the music I love'. With a major London show on the horizon and a powerful team behind him, Cruz Beckham is stepping out of his parents' shadow to forge his own path in the music industry.
