BEA AND HER BUSINESS

A powerful new voice with a flair for perceptive, witty and brutally honest lyricism, Bea & 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. “I like to capture a moment,” Bea says, “and make it as vivid as possible.”

Moments don’t come much more vivid than the one Bea’s experiencing right now: released in May, her elegantly idiosyncratic debut single Born To Be Alive rocketed to over 10m streams within weeks of release, leading to millions of TikTok engagements, a global audience, and a performance to tens of thousands at her first ever live show. Big business, then, for an artist whose intense and evocative snapshots of teenage life conjure such a strong sense of intimacy.
