We were lucky to catch up with Bella B Cash recently and have shared our conversation below.

Bella B, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

The most meaningful project I worked on in 2024 with a producer Yung Rick Foxx called “Hard Times” This song was pretty difficult to record in fact I remember having more than 10 versions of it. The mixing of the record and all of the various vocals wasn’t easy, but we got it done. I really enjoy this record because it describes a hard time as an individual trying to produce and provide for yours whether that be a dream or a family in my cases both. I put the house I grew up in on the cover as a reminder hard times build firm foundations.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I am Bella B Cash the artist an Atlanta native with Liberian roots. My music is rap and rnb personified. I have been singing and writing since my childhood with my younger brother. The music I enjoy the most is from an era of rnb where the melodies and adlibs are felt with conviction. My mother introduced me to Aretha Franklin Ottis Redding and Al Green who all have soulful voices and music. I did my own thing of course and discovered Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson as I got older but these were the superstars of my era. Hip hop became a thing my brothers and I enjoyed collectively. My inspiration came from Foxy Brown and Missy Elliott.

Writing is my therapy when I am in a zone with my thoughts. I hear the melody and my head starts to nod before I hear a beat. I’ve been this way all my life it’s pretty cool. The thing that is most inspiring is to see other people interpret my music in their own way whether it be a vibe or emotional it gives me something to look back on.

I started writing with other artists in Atlanta and my first song placement was with an independent rnb artist Picasso Varner who recorded “Lost in the middle of Love” The song was played on a few radio stations in Michigan and Tennessee produced by “Rchive”. This opened the door to me working with more upcoming artists in the Atlanta area.

I began my music career shortly thereafter and started with a mixtape of rap and rnb tracks from well known artists Adele Beyoncé Jayz and Meek Mills “House Party” It was something I started to promote on MySpace and other online platforms. This was my first time doing a project and it didn’t go exactly how I planned it. However I gain some experience recording with my engineer and producer RJ who showed me how lay vocals which looks easier than it is on the mic.

My music evolved I began to meet different people and expand as a writer. I still had passion for my own music since my mixtape debut. I was so proud of my development as an artist. I met and started recording with Daniela Rivera a producer/engineer who worked with me on getting my SoundCloud up and running. This gave me an outlet to promote my music beyond normal social media platforms.

I recorded Feeling Myself and released it along with 5 additional songs. My music video for my song called “The Pre drop” which is a prophetic song that depicts injustices in the world, industries and communities.
Most of this the music recorded during this time was rap based hip hop with rnb hooks.

I continued my musical journey as a rapper and collaborated with hip hop artists such as New York City’s “Lalo Da Don” on his Caterpillar butterfly song. My music was becoming a thing amongst my peers and people in the lgbt community. I recorded my next single with an ATL producer “Slay” he had major placements with well known artists. This was pretty big to get on his track which also he promoted the song, that was kind of him. “She Cookin” is my biggest song to date. The video and production was a collective effort amongst my people and it turned out much better than expected.

My latest music is Rnb based “Can We Talk “ “Love is Love” and “Risk it All” are different and unique in their own way. The transfer from hip hop to rnb was somewhat effortless but I needed to learn how to use my voice and experience more as a singer. I traveled to Los Angeles were I was given the opportunity to develop my skills and experience as a coproducer while working with engineers who could develop the sound that would fit my music and all its complexities. I recorded “Hard Times” and 50 other songs most of them rnb.

My goal in the music industry is to give people what they want in a special authentic way. It’s really a choice you can allow the music to take you away or it can stand in your way. I prefer to feel the breeze on this musical journey with no pressure to be anything else but BBC ( Bella B Cash) 💯

Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

I wish there were more online tutorials when I first started recording. I just learned how to record myself last year. Do your research learn how to record your vocals properly.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

Being in the industry as a woman of truth it has been harder for me to go far simply because I don’t see the need to mix business with pleasure.
Most people in power have pushed a narrative of unhealthy behavior which could lead to more obstacles. I’m glad my truth has always shielded me from having to go there. It’s a blessing to still have the drive after 10 years of doing music.
