Bea and her business have always known that a career in music was on the cards. Driven and ambitious from a young age, she pursued and signed a record deal independently. Since then, her steady flow of singles has shown that she does not just have the drive, but she also has the talent to really make it big. As she prepares to head out on the road with Maren Morris for the Dreamsicle tour, we caught up with her to learn a little more.

Hi, how are you?

I’m great, thanks. I’m about to head off on the Maren Morris tour around the UK and Europe. I’m feeling slightly delirious, as I just got back from writing in LA, and prior to that, I was in Australia on tour— I don’t even know what time zone I’m in anymore!

2025 has been an exciting year for you. What's been your highlight?

Ooo, I’d have to say my highlight was touring Australia with The Wombats. I think the constant feeling of being out of my comfort zone halfway across the world performing to much bigger crowds with the full band was pretty exhilarating! I also love the Aussie accent; I low-key tried to copy it for 2 weeks after the tour. Everyone was like, ‘Relax, Bea, you haven’t been out there THAT long!’

What is the biggest lesson it has taught you?

I think it taught me that live music is the most important thing in this world. It was so inspiring to see how The Wombats showed up each night for their fans. It's crazy to think their first record came out 3 years after I was born, and they’re still putting on these electric live shows, a credit to them and how their songs have a lot of impact on people. I also learnt how good Australian food is and how fit everyone is!

You are about to head out on the road with Maren Morris. What can we expect from your set?

The set will be punchy and fun and upbeat, bar one song which is a super sad song I’m doing on the piano! There’s a new song in there too! We’ve got a half-hour slot, so we’ve basically just got to jam-pack all the bangers in.

How do you approach support and headline slots differently?

I think of support slots as a chance to give people a peek into your world. And as you generally only have half an hour on stage, you have got to play the ones that will keep the crowd engaged even if they don’t know who you are!

Whereas in a headline show, people are there for you, the sets are longer, and you have time to include the niche, intricate songs. The best feeling is when people go crazy over a song that didn’t go wild streaming-wise. I’m always like, “Oh yeah, you’re a real one!”

2026 is around the corner; what would you like to achieve in 2026?

Loads of new music, I last released something in April and then took the decision to step back and focus on the music. I’m locking in with fewer people (producer-wise), which has been so helpful in allowing me to focus on the narrative and direction and sonics and storytelling. I feel like I can be a bit weirder. I’m excited for people to hear the new stuff!



We want to get to know a little more about your musical taste.

Tell us a song (and a reason) that makes you:

Smile - Best For Last, Adele - I love the wonky bass guitar; it’s so weird and cool. And her voice, my god, I can never not smile when I hear Adele, to be honest!

Cry - Roadkill, Searows - The lyrics are so visceral and heartbreaking and helpless: “a racehorse with nothing to win running just 'cause I’m supposed to 'cause they bet too much money on it.” Wow.

Laugh – Respect by Pink. This just feels so sassy; it reminds me of me at 12 years old snapping my fingers with my side ponytail and braces and talking back to the teachers. It gets me in such a good mood.

Feel nostalgic – Somewhere Only We Know, Keane – This song is so cathartic. I guess it kind of holds your hand through the feeling of yearning for your innocence back, yearning for the simplicity of life that came before the chaos of adulthood. I saw it live at Glastonbury, and it was unmatched.

Dance in the kitchen – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Cyndi Lauper - This song never fails to get me up on my feet. I used to dance to it on Just Dance. Take me back! Cyndi is so amazing.

Sing in the shower – Dancing on My Own, Robyn – I feel like we’ve all watched someone who we’re low-key in love with go home with someone else from across the room; it’s soul-destroying. This song kind of makes you feel like you’re in the club reliving that memory. And it feels pretty damn good to scream, “I’m right over here. Why can’t you see me?” in the shower!

Message a friend immediately - Madeline, Lily Allen or just the whole album or just any Lily Allen song. She’s probably the reason I started songwriting; she’s so poignant and brutal and vulnerable and funny.

What was the best gig you have ever been to?

To be honest, the Eras tour was pretty mesmerising. I low-key knew every single word, and I got SO excited and passionate during The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived that my phone slipped out of my hand and fell into the stand below me… 1. I don’t know how I didn’t injure someone, and 2. I don’t know how I got my phone back, but I did, and it was great.

What is the best show you have ever done?

My Sydney headline show was up there, I have to say! I got to cut someone's fringe mid-show (I have to say it was pretty wonky, but luckily there was a hairdresser there to save the day), and the crowd were just sassy as hell. I loved it. The heckles were hilarious lol, and they gave me so much energy!!

What stage have you not performed on that you dream of?

Wembley Stadium or the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury – I feel like everyone dreams of those two, so apologies for being a basic bitch!

Lastly, you can achieve one thing by the end of the year; what is it?

To finish my next project before the end of the year would be ideal; December is going to be a busy one – I better get to work, bloody hell!
