2. She was in a band with Pete Wentz

Black Cards was the electronic duo that formed in July 2010 as Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz's new project following the band's indefinite hiatus. Wentz played bass guitar and wrote the band's lyrics, while Rexha served as lead singer. The pair met when Wentz and producer Sam Hollander overheard Rexha recording demos at their studio.

Her writing credits include hits like Tinashe’s “All Hands On Deck,” “The Monster” by Eminem, "Team" by Iggy Azalea and of course: "Me, Myself and I"

4. Bebe has something in common with Mariah Carey

Both women have a coloratura or "whistle tone." The highest register of the human voice; common in operatic singing.

5. She is Albanian

Bebe says that she appreciates being raised by very family-value-oriented immigrant parents.

6. “Me, Myself and I” is a love song to music

Bebe told Zach Sang she was in a dark place when she wrote the song and wanted to express how music has always been there for her .

Merging booming production, cinematic storytelling, and a powerhouse voice, Bebe nods to influences as diverse as Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, Tracy Chapman, The Cranberries, and Kanye West. Drawing on her Albanian heritage and youth in New York City, Bebe stirs up a musical melting pot of her own.

“I feel like I’m just starting to show who I am,” she says. “I’m going even further though. I’m embracing my roots and the artists I love. At the same time, I want to tell stories. The new music is more about empowerment. You work on yourself, and you focus on your happiness. That’s the message. I’m saying what I want to say. Life isn’t easy. We’re all going through something. I hope people know they’re not alone when they hear my songs.”

Bebe is currently on tour, opening up for Ellie Goulding. Check out upcoming dates on her website.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
