Miss Bashful X Dbbd

Known for their dynamic performances that blend energetic beats, captivating visuals, and an unapologetic attitude, they’ve carved out a unique space within the ever-evolving music scene. Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with them to explore the inspirations behind their artistry, the magic of live performances, and the intricacies of their collaboration.

At the heart of their music lies an unfiltered energy, a raw connection to their experiences that shapes their sound. When asked how their journeys influence their performances, Miss Bashful passionately shared,

“Darling, every note, every movement is pure, unfiltered me. I don’t just perform, I exude. My life, my experiences, and everything in between—they all drip into what you see and hear. You’re getting a piece of me, unapologetic and raw.”

DBBD echoed this sentiment, highlighting the natural synergy between them.

“Honestly, it’s all pretty natural for us. Miss Bashful has an incredible stage presence, and together we make each other comfortable. As soon as we get a bit into it and our fans give us the energy, it feels like a party that we are also just at. I’m a bit reserved on stage, but she isn’t, so together I think we balance each other out.”

Miss Bashful’s powerful vocals play a crucial role in their signature sound. When I asked her about finding her voice, she responded with confidence,

“Well, I always knew I was going to be a star. This voice? It’s been waiting for its moment. I didn’t find it; it found me. It’s the star of the show—everything else just follows its lead.”

DBBD further emphasized how her vocals enhance the overall aesthetic of their work, showcasing a perfect blend of artistry and emotion.

DBBD’s production style, described as hard-hitting yet irresistibly sexy, brings an additional layer to their music. He shared his creative process, explaining,

“My production process is very sporadic; I don’t follow a formula. It’s more about following a mood, which is usually sensual for me because that’s the kind of stuff I always loved in the club. I’ll have an idea for a melody or bass line, and that creates the vibe; everything else falls into place naturally.” He acknowledged the collaborative nature of their work, stating, “A lot of the time I’ll have sexy beats ready that Miss B will pick, and then we’ll just play around with what lyrics fit where.”

Their live shows transcend mere performances, creating immersive experiences that blend dance, fashion, and sound. Miss Bashful articulated her approach to this dynamic, saying,

“I think they all complement each other. It’s part of our identity. It’s our world and who we are, so it just makes sense, babe.” DBBD added, “The visuals are there to enhance what’s already in the music. We don’t overthink it. I have my style, and she has hers, and together it just works and always has.”

Having established their artistry in Berlin, the city’s vibrant music scene has undeniably shaped their sound and performances. Miss Bashful shared her thoughts, stating,

“The Berlin club scene has influenced the techno aspect. I remember going out with DBBD and thinking to myself, ‘Berlin needs to be more CUNT.’ But the sass and ass comes from my Tex-Mex background, so it’s a blend between all the worlds.” She emphasized how the city has allowed her to express herself freely, adding, “Without Berlin, there would be no Miss B.”

DBBD highlighted the spontaneous nature of the city, noting,

“It’s the little unexpected moments that happen on a night out in Berlin that inspire my sound. Balancing the city can be tough for a lot of people. We never took techno or clubbing that seriously, but always loved discovering sexy music. That’s why we can enjoy a healthy relationship by going out and are so grateful for the careers we have today. We had some of the best nights at Aeden so playing there and having one of the craziest crowd reactions solidified that Berlin accepted us as local artists. That was such a special moment.”

He reflected on a memorable performance at Aeden, which solidified their acceptance as local artists, showcasing the profound impact Berlin has had on their growth.

Their collaboration blossomed from a serendipitous meeting, a moment that felt destined. Miss Bashful recalled,

“We met at a Berlin lake one random day; it was destiny...”, describing how their creative connection sparked instantly. “We just went to my studio one day to see what we could come up with and made ‘Mini Skirts on Men’ within a few hours. When things flow, we just bounce off each other’s energy and laugh a lot in the studio.”

They navigate challenges by taking breaks and returning to their creative work refreshed, showcasing a healthy dynamic.

Visual aesthetics play a crucial role in their artistry. Miss Bashful emphasized their importance, stating,

“Visuals are just as crucial as the music. The look, the feel—it’s all part of the experience. It’s the Holy Trinity: Miss B on the vocals, DBBD on the beat, & LadyKub on the visuals.”

DBBD echoed this sentiment, asserting,

“Music and fashion complement each other so well nowadays; that full picture as an artist is crucial to create an identity that’s recognizable in the scene.”

The energy of the audience transforms their live performances. Miss Bashful recalled a particularly memorable night at their XOXO FM release party in Berlin, saying,

“The crowd was absolutely on fire. I swear, I could feel them breathing with me. The energy was intoxicating, and it pushed me to give more, to be more.”

DBBD acknowledged the varying dynamics of their gigs, enjoying the contrast between festival stages and intimate club settings. He expressed his love for both experiences, noting how each offers unique opportunities for connection with the audience.

With their unapologetically bold sound, they aim to evoke specific emotions in their listeners. Miss Bashful articulated her desires for her audience, stating,

“I want them to feel irresistible. Like they can walk into any room and own it. Our music is a lifestyle—sexy, confident, and a little dangerous.”

DBBD added depth to this, explaining that their provocative lyrics aim to resonate with the chaotic nature of youth culture, ultimately seeking to elicit laughter and a sense of nostalgia.

In their world, music, dance, and fashion are inseparable. Miss Bashful remarked,

“They’re not separate in our world. Fashion, music, and movement—they all bleed into each other. Life is one big runway.” DBBD reinforced this idea, stating, “It started as, and will always be a passion project. Who we are as people defines what we bring to the scene.” Miss Bashful and DBBD represent a thrilling intersection of music, fashion, and raw energy, creating experiences that leave a lasting impression.
