about

Singer / songwriter / rapper / producer / director / activist - Boudicca’s a remarkable, empathic, confrontational and provocative artist with a strong passion for the environment and young people in need. She was in a buggy at her first demonstration, learning to march before she could walk.

Separated from her climate activist mother, she grew up in a musical household with her father who helped her record her first original song at 6 years old. Once she was old enough, she joined her mother on the frontline for a demonstration at Gatwick Airport where she discovered her passion for performance activism.

Since then she has pursued a life writing poetry and lyrics about her fears and hopes for the future. Boudicca’s first victory was a rap battle in the Netherlands at Democracy Alive festival (hosted by the EU). She’s also fought as both a rapper and a spoken word artist at Poets VS MCs at Edinburgh festival, was Creative Director of B.Fest and is music programmer at International Youth Arts Festival. Creative Youth, Kingston appointed her as a young creative and she is now a proud participant of their Creative Talent Programme. She helped raise funds with songs and speeches at their Royal Gala two years running and adapted her role to help curate the first ever online Digifest during quarantine.

Boudicca says “ PARTY LIKE THE WORLD IS ENDING is my way of expressing that the future is and will always be unknown. I find it so inspirational that school children and young activists around the world are demonstrating for climate justice. The contrasting tones in the music portray both the feeling of anxiety and desire to just live in the present moment. I believe change is possible, so I aim to spread a message of hope rather than creating yet more fear. Kids are scared enough as it is. I tried to write a timeless chorus you can’t help but sing along to, no matter who you are. Whether we have one day or a hundred years left on this planet, it’s important to remind each other to Party Like The World Is Ending.“

Her unique mix of rap and sung melodies across genres has received comparisons to Little Simz, Lorde, Mac Miller, Eminem and Taylor Swift. She’s even been likened to a female Akala.

Heavily influenced by the likes of Stormzy, Ed Sheeran, Lady Leshurr, Lowkey, Amy True, Chip, Nina Simone, David Bowie, Prince, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus, P!nk, Rapsody, Kendrick Lemar, J.Cole, and T.I.

lyrics

Party like the world is ending
Hardly like the world is mending
Nothing is never ending

Palm me like it’s Armageddon
Guard me like I need protection
Calm me like we reap salvation

Party like the world is ending

Don’t tell us to calm down
Our lives are in your palms now
Try figure our future out
Our anger is the right amount

Won’t let them burn our houses down
We’ll have to put the fires out
Destructive is the power house
That runs resources in the ground

Party like the world is ending
Hardly like the world is mending
Nothing is never ending

Palm me like it’s Armageddon
Guard me like I need protection
Calm me like we reap salvation

Party like the world is ending

Plot twist
surprise reveal
Clocks shift
more time to heal
Boxes
Confined instill
Im Obnoxious
Come find a thrill

Toxins
Contrived a pill
My subconscious
Paralysed my will
I’m unconscious
When there’s time to kill
Jots in my docs
won’t book me the bill

Got this n
We got free will
God’s watching us
As we run for the hill
Watch this
Cos I get my fill
glass half full
In a class half filled

Locksmith
With the key to relief
Grief on the streets
Is beyond belief
Beyond control
Eons of thieves
Leave all the oil
beyond our reach

party like the world is ending
We on the beach got a spliff each
Party like the world is ending
Life is a treat Death is the beat

Party like the world is ending
Wearing a mask we’re out til dark
Party like the world is ending
We’re at the park here’s where we dance

Party like the world is ending
Hardly like the world is mending
Nothing is never ending

Palm me like it’s Armageddon
Guard me like I need protection
Calm me like we reap salvation

Party like the world is ending



Don’t tell us to calm down
A lot to wrap our heads around as we
Try figure our future out



We’ll plant trees at grassroots
Like the garden of Eden
til branches bare fruits
Let everyone eat them
We’ll dance sleep regroup
Let them pardon their heathens
As they pray for the youth
It’s with hope we will feed them

Party like the world is ending
Hardly like the world is mending
Nothing is never ending

Palm me like it’s Armageddon
Guard me like I need protection
Calm me like we reap salvation

Party like the world is ending
