On August 30, 1989, Bebe Rexha was born in Brooklyn, New York City, as Bleta Rexha, into a family of North Macedonian ethnic Albanians. When North Macedonia was still a part of Yugoslavia, her father Flamur Rexha was born there. At the age of 21, he immigrated to the United States. With roots in Gostivar, North Macedonia, her mother, Bukurije Rexha, was born in the United States to an Albanian family. Bletë translates to “bee” in Albanian. She clarified, saying, “My parents are Albanian, and people started calling me ‘Bebe’ for short.” When she was six years old, her family moved to Staten Island, which is nearby. Florent is the brother of Rexha.

After taking trumpet lessons, Rexha taught herself how to play the guitar and piano. She participated in several musicals and sang in the choir at Tottenville High School on Staten Island. She discovered she was a coloratura soprano when she was in high school choir. Rexha lists Kanye West, Alanis Morissette, Lauryn Hill, Coldplay, and the Cranberries as musical influences.

Rexha submitted a song as a teenager to be played at the annual “Grammy Career Day” event hosted by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. After defeating about seven hundred other competitors, Rexha was named the “Best Teen Songwriter”. Consequently, Rexha inked a deal with talent scout Samantha Cox, who suggested that she take songwriting courses in Manhattan.

Rexha is well-known in many genres, but pop is her main focus. She wrote the lyrics to a K-pop song called Shinee, which is the album Lucifer’s title track. Since then, she has released songs in the dance, hip hop, alternative rock, R&B, country, rock, and electronic music genres. Lauryn Hill had a major influence on her. Other musicians like Pink, Alanis Morissette, Avril Lavigne, Bob Marley, Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Blondie, Pink, Coldplay, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, The Chicks, Shania Twain, Taylor Swift, and Carrie Underwood also had an impact on her.
