Cruz Beckham is officially stepping into the spotlight with his own music career, and he’s doing it the right way. The 21-year-old is releasing his debut EP“Wear&Tear”on August 21 through Republic Records, marking the culmination of two to three years of work on his craft. In a recent interview on SiriusXM Hits 1 Miami, Cruz opened up about how his famous parents have shaped his approach to music and entertainment, giving us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to launch a legitimate career when your family is already iconic.
What’s most striking about Cruz’s story is how he credits both David and Victoria Beckham for instilling a work-hard, be-confident mentality. But Victoria, the former Spice Girl, gets the edge when it comes to motivational speeches. Cruz revealed that his mom tells him to“make sure you do it the best of your ability”and reassures him everything will be okay. Coming from someone who performed in front of massive crowds and built a successful fashion career, that advice carries serious weight. He also values input from his girlfriend, a songwriter who understands the music industry from the creative side.
The timing of this release is perfect. Cruz is launching his debut U.S. headline tour on July 28 in Washington, DC, and he’s already booked major festival appearances including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Reading, and Leeds throughout the summer and fall. This isn’t just an EP drop—it’s a full artist rollout with live performances to back it up. So what do you think: is Cruz Beckham the real deal, or are you waiting to hear the music before you judge?
