BSHP: Building a New Kind of British Pop, One Brutally Honest Song at a Time
BSHP Journal
With a voice that cuts through the noise and lyrics that refuse to sugarcoat the truth, BSHP is redefining what it means to be a British pop artist in 2025. Her sound is emotional, her message is raw, and her presence is entirely her own.
A Voice Carved by Life and Influences
BSHP’s vocal edge wasn’t something she crafted—it was something she lived.
“Some of it is naturally how my voice is,” she says. “But then there’s life and experience—that’s where the emotion comes from.”
Growing up listening to powerful voices and navigating the chaos of her own life gave her music a gritty vulnerability. It’s not just pop—it’s pop with scars.
The Fear and Freedom of Creation
When asked whether she feels safer on stage or in the studio, BSHP admits both bring their own set of challenges.
“On stage, I’m at peace—I just have to smash the vocal,” she says.
But the studio is another story: “The writing process can be scary…sometimes I’m not motivated and that feels like a failure.” For her, creation is where the vulnerability lies. Performance is the exhale.
Support, Heartbreak, and the Power of Truth
BSHP credits her ability to sing her truth to both personal support and emotional experiences. “Support is key,” she explains. “But it always comes back to experience—often heartbreak. It’s therapy.”
Despite her openness, there’s still a filter. “I definitely hold things back. You’re worried your feelings might be niche,” she says. “But I’ve learned to be more open—you never know who it might resonate with.”
More Than What You See Online
Her fun and fiercely independent image is just one layer.
“People don’t see what it took to get here,” BSHP shares. Early in her journey, she tried to cater to the industry. “I jumped on things that didn’t feel like me. It wasn’t right.”
She’s also learned to laugh through pain. “A lot of my songs are deep, but with my friends, we make fun of things. Humour’s a coping mechanism.”
The Real Lessons Heartbreak Taught Her
Heartbreak isn’t just a theme in BSHP’s music—it’s a teacher.
“People value things differently. What breaks you might barely touch someone else,” she says. “It’s about finding your people.”
And when something doesn’t feel right? “How you feel about someone is never more important than how they make you feel,” she adds. “Don’t waste time trying to fix what keeps hurting you.”
Learning to Take Up Space
Confidence didn’t come overnight.
“I had to unlearn being small,” BSHP says. Now, she’s trusting her gut more than ever. “I’m open to opinions, but I know my audience. If it feels wrong, I say no.”
A New Kind of World
BSHP’s music isn’t just a soundtrack for heartbreak—it’s a vision for something bigger.
“I want to build a world where feeling deeply isn’t weakness,” she says. “Where women can be soft, angry, powerful—all at once.”
Rom-Com Energy with Real Emotion
If her music were a film genre, BSHP says it’d be a romantic comedy.
“Big feelings, bigger growth, and lots of tears,” she laughs. “Some of my dating history is a joke…but at least it’s given me great material.”
A Turning Point That Changed Everything
Last year was a breaking point.
“I’d been playing the game—doing what I was told to do—and it wasn’t bringing me joy or success,” she says. That moment of disillusionment was the reset she needed.
“Now I just do what feels right. Even if it doesn’t blow, at least it’s me.”
Why BSHP Is a Name You’ll Keep Hearing
With her unapologetic voice, fearless songwriting, and a vision rooted in authenticity, BSHP is helping shape a new era of British pop—one where vulnerability and strength are not opposites, but inseparable forces.
If you haven’t heard her story through song yet, now is the time. Because BSHP isn’t just making music. She’s making a mark.
