Born Bleta Rexha in Brooklyn, New York, Grammy Award-winning singer / \textbf{songwriter Bebe Rexha} was raised in a tight-knit Albanian American household. Her early exposure to diverse musical traditions helped shape an approach that comfortably moves between pop, R&B, electronic, and country influences. Initially gaining fame as a songwriter, she contributed to hits by \textbf{Eminem} and \textbf{Rihanna}. Bebe also collaborated with other artists \textbf{– G-Eazy, Martin Garrix}, and \textbf{David Guetta} – before embarking on her solo career with the \textbf{\textit{I DON’T WANNA GROW UP}} EP in 2015.

Bebe Rexha earned her first commercial success as a solo artist with the release of two EPs in 2017: \textbf{\textit{ALL YOUR FAULT, PART 1}} (February) and \textbf{\textit{ALL YOUR FAULT, PART 2}} (August).

The latter EP produced “Meant to Be,” her defining crossover hit with\textbf{ Florida Georgia Line}, which expanded her reach into country-pop and underscored her mainstream appeal. She followed that with her 2018 debut album \textbf{\textit{EXPECTATIONS}}, which paired introspective writing with radio-ready hooks. The album reached the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 and earned Rexha a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, cementing her status as both a commercial and creative presence. Subsequent albums—\textbf{\textit{BETTER MISTAKES}} (2021) and\textbf{\textit{ BEBE}} (2023)—expanded on that foundation.

In 2026, Bebe Rexha returns with \textbf{\textit{DIRTY BLONDE}}, her first full-length project as an independent artist. This album represents a total creative rebirth and a departure from the major-label system she's known since she was a teenager. Recorded in London, Tokyo, and Europe, \textit{DIRTY BLONDE} captures the energy of Rexha's global travels. The project seamlessly blends heavy-hitting dance floor anthems with deep, personal storytelling. The single, "New Religion," takes us straight to the club by reimagining the iconic dance record "Insomnia" by \textbf{Faithless}. The album also includes highlights such as “Tokyo,” “Cike Cike,” "I Like You Better Than Me,” and "Drink and a Little Love." \textit{DIRTY BLONDE} is a celebration of an artist who is finally playing by her own rules.
