Artist: Bea and her Business

Song Types: Pop

Key: D

Info: A powerful new voice with a flair for perceptive, witty and brutally honest lyricism, Bea and her Business �" aka 19-year-old, London-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bea Wheeler �" explores themes and experiences many of us recognise, from a distinctive perspective we've never heard before.

A journey that began with a defiant nine-year-old in the car and has blossomed into a quest for pop stardom, BEA AND HER BUSINESS means… y'know… it's in the name. Read and listen with our latest Hype playlist cover feature.

There's no business like show business, but for Bea Wheeler �" aka Bea and her Business �" it's a world she's determined to navigate on her terms. Her chosen moniker reflects not just a catchy name but a hands-on approach.

Exhibit A of her ability to navigate the maze of music industry politics: At the time of talking, she's in Paris for the second night of a headline European tour. Things are going well, she says, apart from her choice of baked goods. "So far, since being here, I've eaten what I thought was a very tasty baguette, but my fans have told me otherwise," she reveals. "They say I need to go and get one from a traditional Parisian bakery! Rule 101 �" never eat a standard baguette in Paris."

Witty, honest, and exquisite, her writing is a real window into her personality, candidly laying her emotions on the table, stripped back with poignant imagery and packing an ironic punch every few lines. On Me Vs Me, the single 'Sunburnt Shoulders' is an ode to the dizzying hurly-burly of entering the adult world.

On Me Vs Me, the single 'Sunburnt Shoulders' is an ode to the dizzying hurly-burly of entering the adult world. "Wearing dirty clothes and oversleeping, When am I gonna do something with my life? Everyone's got a thing, oh God, where's mine?", is an all-too-relatable rhetorical question for most twenty-somethings. It's a song aching with honesty, remedied by a beautiful melody. "It's my favourite song on the EP because it's very honest about that time of my life. I remember the minute I wrote that song, I had a really special feeling about it. I started with the melody, and then the lyrics came to me, and it felt really special. Getting those feelings is rare, but it's such a special thing."
