Vicky Beeching (born 1979) is a worship leader and musician currently signed to Survivor and Sparrow Records. She has recently released her fourth album, entitled "Painting the Invisible".

Vicky grew up in Canterbury, United Kingdom, writing songs from the age of 11, and leading worship since her early teens. After earning her Theology degree at Oxford University, she trained under Brian Doerksen and Brenton Brown while at Oxford Vineyard. She also recorded with Vineyard Music UK during that time.

Before her move to Nashville, Tennessee, Vicky worked with Soul Survivor UK. She released an EP through EMI UK and was featured on various Soul Survivor albums. After moving to the United States, Vicky was signed to Sparrow Records.

In 2006, Vicky has been playing concerts in churches and venues across America. In the summer, she was featured at the [http://creationfest.com Creation Fest East/West] and Spirit West Coast music festival in California.

Also in 2006, Vicky visited the country of Peru. There, Vicky led worship for 500+ teens on a missions trip. Vicky has launched worshipinaction.org, a web-based organization encouraging a generation to live out their praise in practical ways.

In 2007, Vicky delivers her second full-length studio album, entitled Painting the Invisible. The brushstrokes are laden with theologically rich lyrics and blended with deep shades and colors of emotion. Produced by Ed Cash (Nichole Nordeman, Chris Tomlin) and Nathan Nockels (Matt Redman, Downhere), with songwriting collaboration from Cash, Matthew West and Joy Williams, Painting the Invisible finds Vicky rediscovering her love for the warmth of the piano. In fact, several of the songs for the new album were written on Keith Green’s old piano, at the invitation of her mentor and friend, Melody Green.

In April 2008 Vicky briefly went back to her roots in the UK and performed at Spring Harvest in Minehead, England. Her performance brought new emotion and a lively attitude for teenagers in the iScape group to praise and worship God. There were hundreds of teenagers and young adults jumping around and praising God in a week of awesome Worship.
