- In a new Dazed Winter 2025 interview with Yung Lean, the 33-year-old artist says she never felt accepted and describes a “weird, displaced feeling” that informed her record-breaking album.
- Raised in England by Scottish father Jon and Indian mother Shameera, she recalls not fitting in at school or fully relating to either side of her heritage.
- She says standing outside the mainstream yet wanting access to it created the conditions that led her to make Brat, adding she was much more fearful before 2016.
- Her Brat track Apple centers on her relationship with her parents and became a TikTok-driven hit in summer 2024.
- After releasing Brat, she says she felt uninspired by new music and is concentrating on film work, with seven projects in the pipeline and The Moment slated to reach theaters on Jan. 30.
