2017 With Richard Kingsmill

The London 20yo wasn’t around for the ‘90s, but she lives and breathes it on her debut album. Bea Kristi is the London 20yo behind beabadoobee. Born in the Philippines, she moved to England as a three year old. Going to an all-girl Catholic school wasn’t exactly the best fit for her, and eventually she was asked to leave. Starting on the violin, and then turning to the guitar, she started writing songs to vent, and fed off the ‘90s influences she heard around her, thanks to her mum’s collection. With her anticipated debut album Fake It Flowers now out, Richard Kingsmill explores beabadoobee’s background with her, honing in on some of her biggest ‘90s influences, finding out more about her fascination with Charlie Brown and the Peanuts legacy, and her feelings towards being part of Powfu’s international hit ‘death bed’.
