Bibi Bourelly.

Los Angeles-based soul artist, and Def Jam-signee Bibi Bourelly has mostly been known as the songwriter behind hits for artists like Rihanna’s (“Bitch Better Have My Money,” “Higher,” “Pose” and “Yeah, I Said It”); Selena Gomez (“Camouflage”); Usher & Nas (“Chains,” and Usher’s upcoming new single); and Nick Brewer (“Talk To Me” featuring Bibi Bourelly), but she has stepped further into the spotlight as a solo artist with her new track “Sally”, which follows up her 2015 singles, “Riot” and “Ego”, and which premieres today alongside an interactive music video collaboration with LA-based tech wiz Master of Shapes. The video pulls SoundCloud audio and allows users to load any tumblr site and have gifs or images react in real time to the song, essentially creating a music video instantly from their favorite internet memes.

Bourelly’s path to Def Jam began in Berlin, where she was born into an artistic family.  Her father is the prolific jazz and Black Rock Coalition guitarist Jean-Paul Bourelly, of Haitian and American descent; and her mother, of Moroccan descent, was the head of the Art Department at Berlin’s House of World Culture.  Bibi’s decision to immigrate to the U.S. in high school eventually brought her to Los Angeles, where her music career took off.
