Join us for an intimate interview with singer-songwriter Bibi Bourelly, whose credits include Rihanna's “Bitch Better Have My Money” and Selena Gomez's “Camouflage” as she visits Berklee during her Boston tour stop in support of her new album Feel the Real: Part #1, out now on Def Jam Recordings. Raydar Ellis, assistant professor of songwriting, will moderate.
 
Bibi Bourelly will change the way you think about fearlessness. The 22-year-old introduced the world to her remarkable sound and undeniable spirit with her first two singles, “Ego” and “Riot,” which Fader called “brilliantly raw.” Bourelly was born in Berlin, to a guitar-player father and an art world powerhouse mother. Creativity, and most importantly music, were literally in her blood. Technical skill and knowledge is only one element of what it takes to be an artist, though, and Bourelly says that her sound would be nothing like it is today were it not for the death of her mother from cancer when Bourelly was just six years old. Her mother’s death, and the forced self-reliance she had to learn after it, is the foundation of her songwriting.
