Betty Navas

Raw, edgy, and exuberant, Betty Navas brings energy and elegance to create an absorbing and fresh rock/pop sound.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Betty started to play piano at age 5, learned guitar at age 12 and hasn't looked back since. After moving to Los Angeles at age 19 she's had success playing in a Warner Brother's band, Heidi, had her own music in the Independent Film "Chance", by Amber Benson, and worked on the TV show "Music 2000" for Time Warner.

Betty is a stage performer at heart and has played at an array of popular venues such as The Gig, The Joint, 14 Below and The Cat Club. There's a palpable energy every time she steps on stage and the audience leaves always wanting more.

Betty's debut Album "SuperQueen" exemplifies her range as an musician and will surely put her on the map as an artist to watch for. This Super Queen is ready to wear the musical crown and isn't afraid of any obstacle in her path.

SuperQueen is definitely jumpy music- with a rocking stylishness. Think of your favourite rock band mixed with Avril Lavigne pop!
