Career

[edit]

Music

[edit]

Bean began performing music at age 15. Their first live performance involved them singing while rubbing chicken liver on themself at a bar.[3][5] They released their debut single, "Worldwide Torture", in 2019.[2] They self-released their debut extended play, Worldwide Torture, in October 2019, under their personal label Aswang Birthday Cake. It was later reissued by Island and Interscope Records in November 2020 with six additional tracks.[6][5] A music video for their song "Saccharine", taken from Worldwide Torture, was also released in October 2019.[7] They've released solo singles, including "Hello Kitty" in December 2019 and[8] "Yandere" in October 2020, and collaboration singles "Princess Castle" featuring Cottontail[9][6] and "Monster Truck" featuring Zheani were both released in November 2020.[10]

In October 2023, Bean announced their debut studio album Traumatic Livelihood, released on 23 February 2024.[11]

Makeup

[edit]

Bean became known on social media for their "extreme", "doll-like" makeup looks and pastel goth style, which they have described as "genderless monster".[12][13][9] They first started doing makeup as an early teenager while trying to recreate the looks of their Monster High dolls.[5] They run Cult Candy Cosmetics, a cruelty-free, vegan makeup brand.[12][8]

Artistry

[edit]

Bean's music has been described as pop metal, pastel goth,[14] trap metal,[15] hyperpop,[8] alt-pop,[6] grunge,[3] and horror pop.[5] Paper's Jael Goldfine described their music as "freaky", "eerie", and "genre-bending".[7] They have stated that their music is inspired by film soundtracks, including those of the 2019 horror film Midsommar and the 2005 fantasy film Corpse Bride.[9]

Bean has stated that their style is inspired by Hello Kitty, Aswangs, Fraggle Rock, and Tim Burton films, and they have described it as a form of escapism.[3][2]

Personal life

[edit]

Bean is on the autism spectrum. They are non-binary, more specifically genderless, and use they/them pronouns.[16][5]

In 2022, Bean spent several months in a rehabilitation clinic for a ketamine addiction.[17][18] Prior to this, they had written the majority of their debut album while on the drugs, but decided to scrap it and start over after recovering "... to avoid any sense of 'woe is me'".[17]
