Hailing from North London, Belot was surrounded by the music that her mum played around the house as a child – the likes of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and The Beach Boys. By aged 8 she was on the guitar; four years later she was editing her own self-produced tracks via Logic. It was at 14 that she fully discovered her infatuation for pop whilst studying at The Brit School, and she hasn’t looked back since.
Delivering quirky, full-bodied, and exuberant music with all the gift-wrapping has since become Belot’s mission statement, with her artistic character now inseparable from the pop-art she has created. Fusing technicolour with buoyant beats, she’s channeled the vision into her own labelled brand of “awkward pop.”
“I love pop. Always have! And I’m not afraid to say it,” she exclaims. “I think for me, a pop song is something that is going to be so catchy it hurts. I’m going to wake up in the middle of the night and it’ll still be stuck in my head.” With two previous EPs – Electric Blue (2020) and Harmless Fun (2022) – and now on the precipice of a third set for release this Autumn, it is clear that Belot won’t rest whilst there’s still pure pop to be made. Latest track “V.I.P” is another stamp in her now highly-decorated sticker book.
