\n\tDigital audio workstations (DAWs) like Ableton Live and Logic Pro, used by many artists to make electronic music, aren\u2019t necessarily beginner-friendly. One might call them intimidating. Sitting in front of one such program for the first time years ago, Bambii wasn\u2019t convinced she\u2019d ever figure out how to conjure music from it.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s definitely not user-friendly,\u201d she says. \u201cNobody\u2019s trying to make it easy. They\u2019re not sexy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut she was committed, and through a process the Toronto-born artist calls \u201ctrue trial and error,\u201d she started making things \u201cthat sounded like absolute garbage and did not resemble a song. It sounded like [banging on] pots and pans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a year of experimenting, however, she finally had something she knew was good. \u201cIt was honestly a little baby loop, but I was so obsessed with it,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen you have those moments, it pushes you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEventually, in 2019, after fives years of DJing clubs and events, she finally had her own debut single. Her subsequent track and EP releases built up to the third Bambii EP, Infinity Club II<\/em>. Out last month, the project further establishes a sound that amalgamates club music and the Caribbean sounds Bambii grew up with into a sound she calls \u201cfuture dancehall.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWith it, she\u2019s carved out a tour schedule that has included performances at Electric Forest and Glastonbury, British Columbia\u2019s Shambhala this weekend and festivals like London\u2019s All Points East and Miami\u2019s III Points this late summer and fall.<\/p>\n
