I feel like I’ve set the pace and I’ve created Bree Runway for the world. “The vibe is to completely change the game. That’s what the meaning is to me now, as opposed to just a name that my cousin passed to me.” I’m always on a different level, always just stepping up. And then one day when I was at school, we had to decide on an artist’s name. So I put it on my Facebook and it was this really long name. I remember one time we were sat at a family party and he was like, ‘I’m going to give you my name.’ I was like, ‘Oh.’ I thought I was going to get a pair of shades or something. He was called Runway Pedro, and growing up, I wanted to be just like him because he’s so fly. On Bree Runway: “My name actually came from a cousin. So annoying when people write about you like they know you. But I don’t like when people tweet about me like they know me, or they tweet like it’s facts. I do like social media because I love connecting with my fans and we have the funniest conversations together. I think my eye was even starting to twitch. I feel like you can really scroll for hours on end if you’re not careful. On social media: “For the past few days, I’ve deleted the apps, and I only checked them twice. Although their music is quite loud, it’s very soothing to me to light candles and listen to Milli Vanilli.” It just jumps out at me in a very interesting way. It’s very relaxing because there’s so much going on. I’ve been listening to a lot of Milli Vanilli recently with candles, which is really weird. I light some candles and listen to an album. On Milli Vanilli as self-care: “My newest self-care routine is soaking in a bath of magnesium salts because I’m always dancing and hurting myself. Then I’ve got a star on the wrist of my microphone hand just to remind myself that I’m a star. Above my right boob I’ve got an Arabic word meaning ‘god’s best place, or god’s highest place for his best believers.’ It’s the highest form of heaven. It just means that you’re on the right path and that success is coming. Those are key angel numbers to me that I see a lot. It’s getting ridiculous now.’ So I had to put my big girl boots on and just go for what it was I really wanted, because it’s like, ‘You perform to your four walls every single day. Actually, let me just work for Emirates so I can get their red hats and travel.’ I was like, ‘Girl, you are being ridiculous. I do like singing, but maybe I could just be like a cruise ship singer. I found that I was getting ridiculous with alternative roles. On big girl boots: “Feel the fear, and do it anyway. I don’t want to be too big.’ But I’m naturally a very big character, so I don’t know why I was about to let experiences shrink me.
I was literally running away from music because I wanted to really shrink myself. But now, obviously, I’ve outgrown that mentality. As someone that was bullied a lot, it meant, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to be more seen.’ More people are going to have opinions about me and get to say whatever they want about me online. I don’t know, I felt like I was running away from my calling because it was the only thing that I really enjoyed doing, but I just knew what making music and becoming more famous meant. On being larger than life: “I was always passionate about music since I was super young. I love all the Vintage Ed Hardy, all of that shit.”
I used to say, ‘When I get older, I want to get a lot of money and dress like Eve.’ Lil’ Kim was great for fashion. I used to get a lot of inspo from the sitcoms I used to watch. So that’s why I chopped the fringe that short and put in colored streaks-very Lizzie McGuire vibes. I wanted to pull all the inspiration into one hairstyle. In the early 2000s, there were streaks, crimps, fringes, zig-zags, and all of that stuff. On channeling Lizzie McGuire: “For the cover, I wanted it to be all about the hair. In honor of her recent release, Bree Runway spoke to Interviewabout movies, early 2000s fashion, and the art of being genre-less. Her debut mixtape 2000AND4EVA, which she finished in her bedroom during quarantine, is a 9-track project featuring heavy-hitters like Missy Elliott, Rico Nasty, Yung Baby Tate, and Maliibu Mitch. Many listeners struggle to label her: Is she a rapper? An R&B singer? An innovative amalgamation of both and more? The answer she provides is simple: “ I just love confusing people.” A quintessential Scorpio, the London-born artist is mysterious, unapologetic, and intensely passionate. Allow us to break the ice we promise you’ll fall in love.īree Runway defies categorization. Think of it as a blind date, if the date were cooler than anyone you’ll probably ever go out with. This is “ Nice to Meet You ,” for all your need-to-know information on the need-to-get-to-know new voices in pop culture.
