WHAT IT IS: Blending elements of pop, trap, dance, R&B, rock and even country music, Bree Runway transcends categorization. The rising U.K. star began making music at school, learning the basics of production in music technology while crafting beats and freestyles. Since recording her first record in her bedroom, she’s received cosigns from the likes of Rihanna, Missy Elliot—who’s featured on her new single, “ATM”—Cardi B and Summer Walker. What’s more, Runway even designs her own visuals for her videos, artwork and stylings. Unapologetic in her approach and rewriting the rules on her terms, Runway is a modern Renaissance woman, making in-your-face, eruptive pop.
