Beck was born in Los Angeles, to David Campbell, a Canadian-born musician, and Bibbe Hansen, a visual artist and former Warhol superstar.
After his parents separated when he was ten,[REF] Beck stayed with his mother and brother in Los Angeles, where he was influenced by the city's diverse musical offerings-everything from hip hop to Latin music and his mother's art scene-all of which would later reappear in his recorded and published work.
