![]() So, not working wouldn’t even be a rational thought to me. I know how much work I’ve put into music as a child, and I know how well I know music. ![]() You can’t really argue with those results. I said I was gonna do it, I was gonna do music, and I did it. I said fuck school, and I packed my bags in Berlin and moved to LA. I knew what I loved-in fact, fuck what I loved-I knew what defined me, and that was music. I was not ever trying to be there, because I realized at a certain age that I knew myself, better than a lot of other kids my age did. I was that kid who was fucking belligerent. I was about to fail fucking high school, I had to go to summer school, and I didn’t graduate on time. Then I got in trouble and went to America. Tagging, listening to cool music, sitting on the rooftops of abandoned buildings and not going home enough. I grew up running around the subways and streets of that city. Berlin is my music, the way I dress, the way I talk. It’s my way of communicating.Īm I right in thinking you were actually born in Berlin? I’ve written songs for 16 years, and I’m 20. I didn’t wake up one morning and decide to. I got to tour with my dad at an early age too. I grew up with bass players from Senegal and Ghana in my kitchen talking about conspiracy theories. So what’s your story Bibi? I feel like a lot of people are gonna want to know. Then he brought me out to meet Rihanna and she loved it too. He was there when we played it for the first time. Even if most of us didn’t know who you were it seems like everyone that matters did? Looking at your Instagram, I see you chilling with Kanye, Usher, Pharrell. She liked my songs and the things I was doing, because I love to make music. And, to be honest, she’s the only person I really cared about writing for. I’m an artist first and foremost, you see? The only songwriting projects I’ve ever had are Rihanna. It took us forever to get it to her, and when she did hear it, she thought it was cool. We had no idea she would actually ever hear it or do it we just decided. Hmm, we actually wrote it for fun because we thought, let's try to write a song for Rihanna. So you were commissioned specifically to write this song for Rihanna? I am grateful.Ī video posted by Bibi Bourelly on at 10:40am PDT I’ve only been in the industry for a year and a half, so it’s even more crazy for me. It always bends my mind when I hear about massive tracks that were written in less than half a day.Īn hour can change your life. It came out the way it did, and people seemed to like it. We got that shit done in three hours, then Dep went home and worked on it some more. He played me it, I went in and started saying something like “BITCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY!”, because I was feeling ratchet that day. It was back when I was into writing to beats, which I don’t do anymore. We were just vibing with Deputy in one of the local studios I record out of. Whenever I start talking at the moment, it feels like I’m beginning to say the words “Bitch better…”Īwesome! Well, it’s an important line… Cos niggas don’t be having yo’ money. That was hard for me to say for some reason. I talked to Bibi about Rihanna, what it’s like to have the world’s attention and what she’s gonna do with it now she’s got it. If you want to get privy to this before the world does, you should check her Instagram, which can go from being anything from live snippets of Bibi songs in the making, to melancholic Oasis covers, to just being a who’s who of planet Earth’s VIPs.Ī photo posted by Bibi Bourelly on at 8:51pm PDT Before #BBHMM became a Rihanna world premiere, it was a just a 20-year-old woman from Berlin called Bibi bitchin’ about her bad mood over unfinished beats from Roc Nation’s Deputy at a local LA studio.īefore you go assuming she-full name Bibi Bourelly-is just another fresh-faced songwriter in the world of major label hit churning, I should add that this new talent has her own shit going on too.
