Born in Manila and raised in London, Bea Kristi began recording music as Beabadoobee in 2017. At just 18 years old, Beabadoobee's first track, "Coffee," took off with hundreds of thousands of streams in a matter of days, through a fan-uploaded video. Since then, her songs have amassed millions of streams between her own self-released recordings, debut EP, Patched Up, and EP Loveworm.

beabadoobee was touring just days before her current release 'Space Cadet,' when we met the young artist moments before her show with Clairo. She talked about many inspirations, including biggest inspirations Stephen Malkmus and Pavement. Hence on of her current singles and hits is entitled "Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus."
