My name is Hope Bechard, I’m 17 and I reside in Port Lambton. I’ve been playing guitar for 10 years now; I started playing guitar when I was 7 years old. I started out by taking lessons from Bryan Joyce at VanGoozen Music in Sarnia; I stopped taking lessons at the age of 14 and now teach myself. I began taking singing lessons at the age of 15, but did not have room in my schedule to continue taking lessons, so instead decided to teach myself.

I enjoy performing at local gatherings including the Port Lambton Car Show, Gala Days and Sombra Days. I mostly play music from the country genre, but I have a passion for all different types of music. I now give guitar lessons in my spare time. I’m very excited and honoured to be a participant in the “You’ve Got Talent” contest.
