A Powerful Voice Carving Her Own Lane in R&B In an era where authenticity and artistry define longevity, BETH is emerging as a radiant force in the R&B landscape. A Grammy-considered independent artist and the visionary behind Anise Records, she represents the modern blueprint of talent fused with entrepreneurial drive. With a growing catalog of albums and singles, BETH continues to elevate her sound and storytelling. Her latest project, “Get To Know Me,” has made an undeniable impact—debuting at #1 on Amazon’s New Releases Chart and securing the #6 spot on iTunes. The album features standout collaborations with Q. Parker (of the group 112), and Swifty McVay (of the group D-12), with production credits from Marcus Da Heatmizer Devine, Cordell Walton, and C. Smith. Her work has also garnered attention from major outlets like Billboard, SoulTracks, and This Is R&B. BETH’s global reach is equally impressive. She has toured alongside legendary acts such as Anita Baker, Kem, The O'Jays, and Najee, captivating audiences with her soulful delivery. Beyond touring, she brought her versatility to the big screen as the body double for Whitney Houston in the film Sparkle. Her resume of live performances reads like a who’s who of music royalty. BETH has opened for icons including Peabo Bryson, Keith Washington, Chanté Moore, Ginuwine, Boney James, Lonnie Liston Smith, and Roy Ayers—and most recently shared stages with the incomparable Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight. Mainstream audiences were introduced to BETH’s undeniable talent when she appeared as a finalist on The Voice (Season 16), where she worked closely with powerhouse coaches Kelly Clarkson and John Legend. She further showcased her vocal prowess as a featured vocalist on Dancing with the Stars (Season 22). Beyond music, BETH’s talents extend into acting. As a proud member of SAG-AFTRA, she has built an impressive portfolio that includes feature films, stage productions, and national television and radio commercials—demonstrating a versatility that few artists achieve. Music runs deep in her roots. Inspired by her father, Johnny Griffith of the legendary Funk Brothers, BETH carries forward a legacy of excellence while forging a path uniquely her own. With a voice that resonates and a presence that captivates, BETH is more than an artist—she’s a movement in motion. As she continues to evolve, her impact on the music and entertainment industry is undeniable, and her journey is one that promises to inspire for years to come.
