Bebe Rexha

Brooklyn-Born Bebe Rexha has worked extremely hard to get to where she is today. She signed to Warner Bros in 2013, and fittingly, it was in her New York City where she got her first big break - a writing credit on Rihanna and Eminem’s The Monster record. From there, she just kept writing songs – and after a series of extended play releases, her 2018 debut album, Expectations, reached number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the success of lead single, I’m a Mess, earning her two Grammy nominations, one as Best New Artist. She’s also honing her craft on stage, evolving her live approach to a full band setup, and it’s clearly working out: she just co-headlined Isle of MTV, Europe’s largest free music festival, with Martin Garrix. We sit down to find out more about her fascinating musical journey. Words Floyd Mason
