5 QUESTIONS
BABII WHO ARE YOU?
I am BABii and I am a producer, writer and artist and I make left field electronic pop music.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I make everything myself, I make my own artwork, videos, merchandise, and sometimes even my own photos.
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
I do what I do because I can’t help it, to the extent that BABii was a project that happened by accident, it was never premeditated, I just make things all the time and I love learning new skills and how things are made, and it turns out people like to absorb it too.
WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?
Right now I am currently on my way home from Norway, it was very cold and rainy but I got to go
to a troll forest on a mountain, invade Iglooghost show at Borealis Festival with singing, and see AYA play one of the best live shows I have seen in a while so I’m happy.
“ALL I EVER THINK ABOUT IT MAKING NICE THINGS, SO THAT’S ALL I FOCUS MY ENERGY ON AND FILL MY BRAIN WITH.” WHAT’S THE HOT TOPIC?
My hot topic about music is that I don’t know anything about music really, I like to know how it works, but I hardly pay attention to the world of music. All I ever think 26
about it making nice things, so that’s all I focus my energy on and fill my brain with. So I don’t really know what to say, I guess I was thinking yesterday about people who are just singers and what that would be like, to just put all the control into other people’s hands, and how I personally think it comes across very soulless and impersonal, or confusing and conflicting across the different mediums, but somehow people still connect to that kinda of artist and find it meaningful even though none of it comes from one place or personal feeling and even though kinda like they are a mannequins. It’s interesting that people can empathise with art that’s made based on algorithms and that’s not from one persons soul and mind. The new EP 'iii' is released March 27th.
