Last year she established herself as one of the most ambitious, imaginative artists recently to emerge from London’s music scene, equipped with elaborate, energy-filled visuals, continent-hopping collaborations, meticulous choreography and a debut mixtape, 2000AND4EVA, that go some way in answering the question, ‘Who exactly is Bree Runway?’ The reality is that Runway, born Brenda Wireko Mensah, is impossible to pin down, a rare find in an age of groupings, playlists and algorithms. Though it’s true that Runway is a relatively new addition to the mainstream, it’s already hard to imagine how much further the Ghanaian-British dynamo could ‘elevate the vision’, as she promises, excitedly. ‘And being able to be all of those things is what I think makes a popstar a popstar,’ she explains.
‘I’m all of those things,’ she says, smiling over Zoom from her house in east London.
Rap Bree, Soul Bree and Punk-pop Bree coexist harmoniously to become her superpower. There’s no doubt Bree Runway is aware of people trying and failing to define her, but she’s not particularly interested in conforming and she certainly doesn’t view her versatility as a disadvantage.
