Badliana is a Bristol-based artist and model crafting an unapologetically dark, alternative sound, where heavy, experimental beats collide with hauntingly sweet, seductive vocals. Drawing from grime, rap and alternative R&B, her music pushes against convention, balancing raw intensity with emotional precision.

​

A fearless presence both on record, on stage, and in front of the camera, Badliana channels the same bold visual identity through her modelling work exploring dark, fashion-led and alternative aesthetics. She has received support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 1XTRA and BBC Introducing, alongside coverage from CRACK, Mixmag and Dekmantel.

​

Currently an emerging artist on Big Team’s Next Level programme, Badliana enters 2026 with momentum. Her upcoming single Bright Lights has already gained support from Theo Johnson on BBC 1XTRA, with a year of new music, visuals and live performances set to unfold.
