Badriia Ines Bourelly (born 14 July 1994), professionally known as Bibi Bourelly (which is also her stage name), is a German singer and songwriter signed to Def Jam Recordings. She is the writer (or co-writer) of several notable songs including Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money" and "Higher" and Nick Brewer's "Talk to Me." Bourelly is featured on tracks such as Lil Wayne's "Without You," and Usher's "Chains" She also released two singles in 2015 ("Riot" and "Ego") in preparation for the release of her debut studio album later in 2016.
Bardriia Ines Bourelly was born in Berlin, Germany and is of Moroccan and Haitian descent. Her father, Jean-Paul Bourelly, is a notable guitarist and her late mother was the head of the Art Department at Berlin's House of the World’s Cultures. Because her father was a professional musician, Bourelly often attended concerts and wrote songs as young as age four. Her mother died when Bourelly was six years old. She first went on tour with her father when she was 11. She attended high school in Maryland until the 12th grade.
While still living in Maryland, Bourelly began working with producer, Paperboy Fabe. He would later arrange for her to have a session with Kanye West in Los Angeles. That session ultimately produced Rihanna's "Higher," which Bourelly wrote in about 30 minutes. Around the same time, Rihanna heard another of Bourelly's written songs, "Bitch Better Have My Money," and decided to make it the lead single off her 2016 album, Anti.
