About Us

Becky Rickett President

I founded Big Star Production Group with a deep passion for helping people and my love for music. My career started in 1985 after graduating from broadcasting school in the Northwest. I began a 10 year career as an on-air personality, which included producing commercials and voiceovers. I meet my husband literally on-air as he worked with the same broadcasting company. We moved to Southern California in 1995 where I began working with an independent record label, Thump records as a Production Manager. I supervised and coordinated the production of all label content from CD’s to promotional material as well as being directly involved in distribution and advertising campaigns.

Through my colleagues I was recognized by EMI Capitol Records where I began a wonderful career working with their special markets division as Senior Creative Services Coordinator. Coordinating over 300 releases a year I became extremely competent in all aspects of print, graphic design and managing fast paced releases. I had the opportunity to help many third party clients from Eddie Bauer to Nordstrom’s to Target stores, Ace Hardware and many more through Capitol records amazing catalogue of artists.

Big Star Production Group is a wonderful extension of all of my life’s experiences and now allows me to work on a one to one relationship with each client and I find that the most rewarding of all. BSPG has now helped major label artists as well as independent artists and record labels launch music releases on CD and vinyl, and we feel blessed for that opportunity.
