Los Angeles–based singer-songwriter Cliff Beach‘s latest single with backing band the MB’s, “Confident,” recently won the grand prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition. Today, we present the official video for the funky track, which matches the song’s swagger with a colorful strut around Venice Beach.

“This song means so much to me,” Beach tells Relix. “I wanted to write something that made people feel good and that explains that confidence comes from within, and the only reason we don’t feel confident sometimes is because we allow ourselves to succumb to a negative feedback loop, so we need to surround ourselves with more positive messages like the lyrics in this song. I hope this song helps people to stay encouraged that they are on the right path and just need to walk in confidence.”
