Beck is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and producer. He is the son of Bibbe Hansen, a performance artist, musician, and actress, and David Richard Campbell, an arranger, composer, and conductor, who was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Beck’s paternal grandparents were D. Warren Campbell and Norean Reid (the daughter of Stanley Richard Reid and Elsie Elenor Newman). D. Warren was from Winnipeg, and was of at least partly Scottish descent.

Beck’s maternal grandparents were Alfred Earl “Al” Hansen (born Alfred Duckworth, the son of Franklin T. Duckworth and Katherine C.) and Audrey Ostlin (the daughter of Olaf Gabriel Ostlin/Ingeniar and Sadie Rosenberg). Alfred, an artist, took on the surname of his stepfather, Nicholis Hansen; he was of at least partly Norwegian descent, which Beck’s mother, Bibbe, has stated. Beck’s great-grandfather Olaf was Swedish, born in Stockholm, Sweden. Beck’s matrilineal great-grandmother Sadie was Jewish, born in Brooklyn, New York, to a father from Poland, Abraham Rosenberg/Czarka, and a mother from Russia, Fannie Melutnik.

Beck has said that he was raised celebrating Jewish holidays and considers himself Jewish. He is also a Scientologist.
