Bella Kay

Bella Kay Artistfacts

  • 2007?
  • Bella Kay is a pop singer born in Texas and based in Orlando. Her songs dive into heartbreak, identity and emotional survival.
  • Bella wrote many of her earlier songs while working in her bedroom, leaning into an intimate style that translates well to platforms like TikTok and Spotify.
  • Her breakout debut single, "The Sick," went viral on TikTok, racking up over 100 million views and hundreds of thousands of fan-made videos, which set up the audience for follow-up tracks like "Lonely" and "Iloveitiloveitiloveit."
  • Bella's debut EP, Sick to My Stomach, is pitched as a project about her "coming into her own in life, love, and sound." She described the EP as "my first time really being honest about what goes on in my head."
  • Don't confuse her with Bella Kaye (with an "e" at the end), a dark-pop singer-songwriter associated with Southern California.
  • Bella Kay doesn't drink coffee; she prefers matcha.
  • Bella Kay's favorite Disney film is The Princess and the Frog, and she especially loves its ambitious heroine. That tracks neatly with her own career narrative: romantic chaos in the songs, but long-term goals in real life.
