Adamant to make her mark by standing out, not fitting in; BOI has her own bold mission of individuality. She bravely sources her scars, trespasses and experiences as her “library” to create and connect. BOI is the moniker of Newcastle creative and performer Anna Buckingham. Growing up she was told to act more like a girl, her moniker reclaims those insults, taking ownership of the label BOI. Buckingham’s appetite for song writing grew in her teens and her hard work culminated in 5 years in the band Nova & The Experience. In recent years she conquered stages of festivals like Splendour in the Grass as a feature vocalist for LDRU and has performed and worked with Super Cruel, Alex Lahey, TORA, The Chainsmokers, Godlands, Xavier Dunn. She now breaks out on her own in 2019, emerging boldly to do what she has always wanted.
