Bebe Rexha
Bebe Rexha (/ˈbiːbi ˈrɛksə/ BEE-bee REK-sə, Albanian: [ˈblɛta ˈɾɛdʒa]; born Bleta Rexha, August 30, 1989) is an American singer and songwriter. She began her mainstream recording career as a vocalist for the pop band Black Cards in 2010, during and after which was credited with co-writing releases for other artists—such as Eminem's Grammy Award-winning single "The Monster". She signed with Warner Records to release her debut extended play (EP), I Don't Wanna Grow Up (2015), which failed to chart domestically, but spawned the moderate international hit "I'm Gonna Show You Crazy".
Rexha released two additional EPs in 2017: All Your Fault: Pt. 1 and All Your Fault: Pt. 2, both of which spawned the singles "I Got You" and "The Way I Are (Dance with Somebody)" (featuring Lil Wayne). Rexha saw further success with her collaborations such as "Hey Mama" (with David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Afrojack), "Me, Myself & I" (with G-Eazy), "In the Name of Love" (with Martin Garrix), and "Meant to Be" (featuring Florida Georgia Line)—the latter peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 61st Grammy Awards. Rexha's debut studio album, Expectations (2018), peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200 and yielded her a nomination for Best New Artist that same year. Her second and third albums, Better Mistakes (2021) and Bebe (2023), both entered the Billboard 200—the latter included the single "I'm Good (Blue)" (with David Guetta), which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in twenty-two countries.
Bleta Rexha was born on August 30, 1989, in Brooklyn, New York City to Albanian parents from North Macedonia. Her father, Flamur Rexha, was born in Debar, North Macedonia when it was part of Yugoslavia and emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 21. Her mother, Bukurije, was born in the United States to an Albanian family with roots in Gostivar which is northeast of Debar and separated by Mavrovo National Park. In the Albanian language, bletë means "bee". She said, "My parents are Albanian, and people started calling me 'Bebe' for short." She and her family moved to nearby Staten Island when she was six. Rexha has a brother named Florent.
Rexha initially taught herself trumpet and later taught herself to play guitar and piano. She attended Tottenville High School in Staten Island. Rexha sang in the choir there and took part in a variety of musicals. While in high school choir, she discovered that she is a coloratura soprano.
As a teenager, she submitted a song to be performed at the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences' annual "Grammy Career Day" event. Rexha earned the "Best Teen Songwriter" award; about 700 were in the competition. As a result, she signed a contract with talent scout Samantha Cox, who encouraged her to enroll in songwriting classes in Manhattan.
Rexha had a shortlived deal with Island Def, which they canceled. In 2010, she met Fall Out Boy's bassist Pete Wentz and began working with him at a recording studio in New York City. She became a member and a lead vocalist of Wentz's new experimental project called Black Cards. The band played a variety of live shows and released several singles and remixes. However, in January 2012, Wentz announced that Rexha had left the band to pursue other endeavors. Bebe Rexha was awarded the Abe Olman Scholarship for her contributions as a songwriter later that year.
In 2013, Rexha signed with Warner Bros. Records as a solo artist. On March 21, 2014, Rexha released her debut single, "I Can't Stop Drinking About You". The song peaked at number 22 on the US Top Heatseekers chart, while a music video was released on August 12, 2014. On May 12, 2015, she released her debut EP, I Don't Wanna Grow Up, through Warner Bros. Records. In March 2016, Rexha released her single, called "No Broken Hearts" featuring Nicki Minaj. In April 2016, the music video was released, directed by Dave Meyer.
On October 28, 2016, Rexha released "I Got You", which peaked at number 43 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and at number 17 on the US Pop Songs chart. The music video was released on January 6, 2017. Direction changed from a full studio album to a multi EP project and "No Broken Hearts" was scrapped, making "I Got You" the first and only single from All Your Fault: Pt. 1, released on February 17, 2017. The EP peaked at number 51 on the Billboard 200. In March 2017 in Dallas, Rexha began her first solo headlining tour, promoting the EP across North America and Europe, named the All Your Fault Tour, with a total of 29 dates.
