The English singer, rapper and songwriter is set to appear in Manchester next month as the opening date in her first headline tour, continuing in Birmingham and London.
Born Brenda Wireko Mensah in Hackney, East London, she has created a refreshingly unique sound which could be described as a mix of rock, pop and R&B, as well as hip-hop.
Her first single of 2020 ‘Apeshit’ catapulted her to a larger audience, with the single’s music video showcasing her fluidity in musical genres and aesthetics, racking up over a million views.
Last year Bree Runway dropped ‘ATM’ featuring the iconic Missy Elliott which has now been streamed over seven million times on Spotify. Bree took to Twitter to celebrate the collaboration which clearly holds special significance for her.
Bree released her latest single ‘Pressure’ earlier this month and it was premiered on Clara Amfo’s Hottest Record show on BBC Radio 1. Bree commented on the single, “I love how this song embodies everything I am. It oozes Africa with the rhythm of the drums, the attitude, the assurance and the fashion. I made this song with nights out in mind.”
Last month Bree featured in the ‘NME 100: essential emerging artists for 2022’, cementing her place as one of the most exciting new artists, in which she is described as possessing a voice that ‘is a fresh, essential one with so much to say’ and is recommended for fans of Doja Cat and Rina Sawayama.
