Bekah Grace Liechty, born 29 July 2000 in Pettisville, Ohio, is an American folk singer and keyboardist best known as a member of the sibling trio Girl Named Tom. In December 2021, the group made history by becoming the first act ever to win NBC's The Voice, claiming the Season 21 title under coach Kelly Clarkson.
Early Life and Family Background
Bekah is the youngest of three children, raised by parents Chris and Holly Liechty alongside older brothers Joshua and Caleb. She attended Pettisville School and was later accepted to Goshen College, but chose to pursue music full-time with her brothers instead of attending college.
As of 2026, Bekah is 26 years old, with her zodiac sign being Leo. She stands 5'5" (165 cm) tall and weighs 128 lbs (58 kg), with blonde hair and dark brown eyes.
Formation of Girl Named Tom
Girl Named Tom was formed in 2019 after Bekah finished school. The band's name has a charming origin: her brother Joshua nicknamed baby Bekah "Thomas," and the playful name stuck, becoming the group's identity.
In the trio, Bekah plays keyboards, Caleb plays guitar, and Joshua plays drums. Their sound blends acoustic folk with rich three-part harmonies.
The Voice Season 21 Victory
In 2021, Girl Named Tom auditioned for The Voice Season 21. Their blind audition performance of "Helplessly Hoping" earned a four-chair turn, with all four coaches turning simultaneously. They joined Team Kelly Clarkson.
On 14 December 2021, the trio was crowned Season 21 champions, becoming the first group in the show's history to win. Their prize included $100,000 and a record deal. Following the win, Girl Named Tom embarked on an arena tour with Pentatonix and headlined theatre tours across the country.

Girl Named Tom's catalogue spans covers and original recordings, with signature songs including "Dust in the Wind," "Helplessly Hoping," "Wichita Lineman," "More Hearts Than Mine," "Carolina in My Mind," "Isn't That What Christmas Is For," and "Homesick Melody."
