Beabadoobee is a young woman, and at the age of 20 has broken into the music business performing with artists like Clairo and The 1975. According to the press release Bea Kristi was born in the Philippines and was raised in London. Bea started recording under the moniker Beabadoobee in 2017.

A part of YouTube’s global artist development program the young woman received a billboard in Times Square and was also the cover star of an issue of NME magazine.
The singer’s song “Coffee” is arguably her most recognizable as it rose to popularity on the Billboard charts after it was used as a sample on the app Tik Tok. “Coffee” was sampled by Canadian artist Powfu in the song “Deathbed (coffee for your head).”
According to the press release, Beabadoobee’s song “Sorry” is an apology to a friend where she explains, “confessing my mistakes in a friendship and watching someone who I love break down and fade away as a person. It’s the idea of dismissing something because it felt too close to home and a personal reminder to never take for granted what that person could have had.”
“Sorry” has heavy alternative tones that include string instruments that add to the drama and intensity of the song. Bea’s soft vocals can be compared to that of Gwen Stefani but with her own personal twist. The contrast of the light vocal track along with the electric guitar gives the song a unique sound that bends genres.
