03Interview

Name, where are you from?
Badgirl$ (Cooks, Billi & Bubz) from Manchester, but Billi’s Turkish (an honorary Manc).

Describe your style in three words?
Gay, Straight and Bi.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Cooks: Odd Future, Manchester Academy.
Billi: Yung Lean, Roundhouse.

If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
MorMor and The Beatles.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
The Beat Generation because it's honest poetry and Trap culture because it's also honest poetry.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Young Thug – he’s the most influential artist in modern history. We think '4am Britney' by billithebatkid is the best Young Thug track though.

Somerset House (supporting Rosalia) – just WOW.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
JIMMY.


 

Badgirl$ are a Manchester trio pushing genre boundaries with their lo-fi mix of grunge, alternative hip-hop, pop and whatever else happens to take their fancy. They recently released their new single 'Next Up II', watch the video below.
