Basheba EP Launch 'Bad Friends, Good Enemies'

We’re excited to announce that we will be hosting Basheba’s EP Launch at The Social, Oxford Circus, on the 27th October! Come join us.

Hailing from North West London, the beautiful and stylish Basheba brings us a unique, combination of drum & bass, blues, R&B and gospel.

Basheba has been perfecting her vocal style from a young age and writing since the tender age of 14 – so it’s no wonder that the likes of Rudimental and award winning songwriter, Blair Mackichan, have asked to work with her. Although Basheba was born and raised in London by her British Dad and Bajan Mum, Basheba says she is ‘inspired’ by her Bajan roots and believes her love of music stems from the passion the people of Barbados have for music. Spending every school holiday in Barbados she feels she is as much British as she is Bajan.

She is now finishing her debut EP with producer Dean Barratt (who Shy FX calls the “super duper engineer”), due to drop in Autumn 2014.

Basheba creates an evocative narrative in her music. She says, “A song is nothing without a story. I’m a storyteller, I just tell my stories through song.” This storytelling inspired the artistic photographer Linda Blacker to work closely with Basheba to create images that have grabbed the attention of both music and fashion press alike.

Basheba’s first single ‘No More’ has had online backing from SBTV, Mobo, Vevo and many more. And Radio support from BBC London, Radio 1 Xtra and Capital Xtra. Basheba’s most recent single Dirty Love (Your Love) featuring Jordan Reece has been featured on Record of the Day, BBC R1, 1xtra, Kiss FM, MTV Base, AKA & Flava.
