From a small phone screen on Tik Tok to a nominated BRITs Rising Star, 21 year-old Caity Baser is bringing a new era of pop to the forefront.
Despite its growing popularity, we all know that Tik Tok was likely the most used app during lockdown. Caity started posting videos during the first lockdown and hasn’t looked back since. Her attitude towards her music is inspiring. She knows she’s got a talent, she has fun doing what she’s doing and she doesn’t care what anyone thinks about it. As long as she’s thriving, we’ll continue to see her running around confidently through the streets screaming about her music.
If you attended Depot in the Castle in 2023, you probably remember seeing Caity Baser on the line-up. She made sure that she would be unforgettable. Singing songs about no longer having friendly sex, slut-shaming and haters, Caity’s lyrics are filled with honesty throughout and we love her for that.
The release of her new mixtape, Still Learning, had Welsh fans flocking to Cardiff’s Great Hall and filling the venue. Caity gave bundles of energy from start to finish to the point that she had to remove part of her outfit from sweat.
Fans were treated to some songs with story openers. ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ was introduced with the quote “if you have to question if they like you, then they don’t like you. And that’s a hard pill to swallow.” Her favourite song of the mixtape ‘Oh Well’ included lyrics like “Everything’s f–ked, but it’s okay. Sometimes you just have to say, oh well.” Caity definitely hit us all with some hard truths in Cardiff but we all know it’s exactly what we needed to hear.
