For her forthcoming album, MiiRROR, BABii has produced 10 darkly beautiful electronic pop songs, directed videos, made costumes, designed an alternative reality game, written a fantasy book, birthed a dragon and typed a lot of extra “i”s. Born Daisy Warne, brought up by her father in Canada and England, she still helps run his arts studio in Margate as well as teaching video game writing at uni. Days off are rare.

Growing up surrounded by her dad’s artist friends in creative spaces and salvage yards, BABii learned how to create beauty out of anything, all the time. Recently, she reconnected with her mother, and the emotional aftershock led her to empty her heart into the fabulous MiiRROR. It anatomises BABii’s chaotic childhood and ongoing struggle with maternal figures, while sounding like a chainsaw made of candyfloss.

The book and album weave a world of angel dragons, junkyard babies and manifested demons to accompany her visceral songs – narratives lightly tracing the outline of her own experiences. At least one dragon will join her on the MiiRROR tour, which may or may not be set in the back of a van. One song she’s looking forward to playing is the majestic DRiiFT, which is about being four years old and seeing some kids smash up her dad’s car with bricks. Grafting squealing tyres and breaking glass on to BABii’s gorgeously hypnotic singing, turning chaos into catharsis.

MiiRROR is out on 21 May via Gloo
