Funk music artist Cliff Beach has been going against the grain musically for more than 10 years in Los Angeles. The Berklee-trained singer/songwriter/keyboardist and DC native has created a style of music he coins as "Nu-funk", a hybrid of soul, traditional R&B, funk and neo-soul which he performs regularly throughout Southern California.

Last summer, Cliff released the highly anticipated "Who the Funk is Cliff Beach?" EP, independently, which was nominated for three LA Music Awards including "Record of the Year" and one Hollywood Music in Media award. Beach also received national press in a featured live review in Music Connection magazine in Nov. 2013.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
