Bebe Rexha and David Guetta, the dynamic duo behind the hit songs 'Hey Mama' and 'I'm Good (Blue),' are once again making waves in the music industry. The talented pop music artist and acclaimed DJ and producer are headed back to the Grammy Awards for the second time with a joint nomination in the pop dance recording category. This nomination is just another testament to their successful collaboration and their undeniable chemistry.
Rexha and Guetta first crossed paths in 2015 when they teamed up for their chart-topping hit, 'Hey Mama.' Since then, their partnership has only grown stronger and more fruitful. Last year, they received a Grammy nomination for their hit song 'I'm Good (Blue),' solidifying their place among the industry's elite.
Despite their musical success, Rexha describes their relationship as more of a sibling dynamic. Like any close bond, they have their share of annoyances, but they are grateful for each other's talent and dedication to their craft. They are in constant communication and have become extremely close over the years. Rexha believes that their musical chemistry is truly special and expects many more exciting projects to come from their partnership.
The beginning of their journey together started at Atlantic Records' studios in LA. Rexha fondly remembers the day they first crossed paths. It was a last-minute session with Guetta, who had several rooms occupied by different people as he was focused on finishing his album at the time. When Guetta finally found his way to their room, he played a rough idea for a song that would become 'Hey Mama.' However, the song was missing a hook.
In a burst of creativity, Rexha went into the recording booth and laid down a melody and the lyrics. When Guetta returned to the room, he was amazed to find that Rexha had completed the song in his absence. This seamless collaboration set the tone for their future projects, and Rexha believes that their ability to work effortlessly together is what makes their music so successful.
While they might encounter artistic roadblocks from time to time, Rexha reflects on the process of creating their latest song, 'One In A Million.' Unlike some of their previous endeavors, this song came together smoothly. Both artists have high standards for their work, but they found a perfect balance and agreed on the vision for the song. When they find an idea they love, they push each other to make it the best it can be. However, Rexha believes that the most authentic and exceptional songs are the ones that flow effortlessly, often coming together in just a matter of minutes.
This year's Grammy nomination marks Rexha's fourth nod from the prestigious awards. Her collaboration with Florida Georgia Line on 'Meant To Be' earned her a nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 61st Grammys. That same year, she was also nominated for Best New Artist. Despite not receiving Grammy recognition for 'Meant To Be,' Rexha remains humble and understands the competitive nature of the music industry. She cherishes the opportunity to be in the mix alongside such talented artists.
Win or lose at the Grammy Awards, Rexha's journey doesn't end there. She will be taking the stage as a performer at Sports Illustrated The Party Presented by Captain Morgan. The event will be held in Las Vegas on February 10th, just days after the Grammys. Rexha will be sharing the stage with The Chainsmokers and Kygo, creating an unforgettable night of music before the Super Bowl LVIII matchup.
When asked about her excitement for the event, Rexha expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration with Captain Morgan. From the moment she met the team, she felt a genuine connection and saw the alignment between her brand and theirs. This partnership extends beyond the stage and influences her social media presence and performances. As an avid fan of rum punches, Rexha can't wait to bring her energy to the Vegas crowd and create an unforgettable experience.
As for the Super Bowl, Rexha admits that she primarily watches for the halftime show, but she also enjoys indulging in the classic Super Bowl staples – chicken wings and pizza. She doesn't have a favorite team but appreciates the excitement and spectacle that comes with the game.
Bebe Rexha's journey in the music industry has been full of successes, collaborations, and thrilling opportunities. Her partnership with David Guetta continues to produce chart-topping hits, and their joint Grammy nomination is a testament to their unwavering talent. Rexha's versatility as an artist is further showcased as she gears up for her performance at Sports Illustrated The Party Presented by Captain Morgan. With each step she takes, Rexha remains thankful for the opportunities and humbled by her achievements. We can't wait to see what's next for this incredible artist.
