Be Steadwell is a singer songwriter from Washington DC. Redefining the love song in a modern context-Be's lyrics focus on love between women.
With roots in jazz, acapella and folk-Be composes a soulful blend of genres into what she calls "queerpop". In her live performances, she utilizes loop pedal vocal layering and beat boxing to compose her songs on stage.
Be's self-produced albums Notes, Song a Day, Mixtape and RainWater feature her earnest lyricism, unapologetic silliness, and the universal vulnerability of the simple love song.
As she pursued her career in music, she began a career in film. Shooting and editing her own music videos, Be combined her love of music with narrative film. In 2014, Be completed an MFA in film from Howard University.
This year, be was selected to be a 2016 Strathmore Artist in Residence. Be is currently touring her music and screening her film Vow of Silence (2014) internationally.
