Of all the popsters with potential around at the moment,
Caity Baser might be the most fun of the lot. With a big serving of personality and the bops to match, she's been building up a catalogue of should-be-smash-hits over the last year or so.
Twelve months ago, she was smashing her set on Reading's BBC Introducing Stage - an introduction to festivals that has continued into 2023. This year, she was back for a bigger slot on the BBC Radio 1 Dance Stage, and as you might expect, she did it again.
We caught up with her before her performance for a quick festival catch-up.
You Loud London lot have absolutely smashed festival season to bits this year.We really have, and it's so nice to have a group of girls doing the same shit that you're doing. They understand everything you're going through, all the highs, all the lows. It's just nice to have people that you actually get along with that are doing what you're doing.
It feels like you've done every single festival.I really feel like I have. It's amazing. And it's almost over. I'm just gonna be super, super mega sad when it's over.
And this is like full circle, was this the only festival you did last year?Yeah, it was the first festival I did last year, I was on the Introducing Stage. I genuinely thought nobody was gonna turn up because I'd never done a festival before, and then as I'm getting ready to go on, I hear the crowd going "Caity! Caity!" I said to my manager, what's that sound? And she goes, take your ears out Caity. And I was like, 'Is that all for me'? It's amazing to have a full-circle moment on an even bigger stage.
You're gonna pack it out.I have to pack it out. I have to do it. I must do it. And I feel like I will.
You have been quite consistently releasing throughout festival season?Oh my god, yeah, it's been studio sessions plus festivals. Plus, like testing stuff online and seeing what works. But today I'm actually debuting another single for the first time in the world ever.
