Bebe Rexha
Young STAR: What are your pre-performance rituals?
Bebe Rexha: I always have a 30-minute warm-up, everyone has to leave the room and I drink a lot of water. I have a special throat-coat tea that takes 14 minutes to make. I have an aloe vera spray for my throat. Ten minutes before I’ll just put on some really good music and then just dance to it. I hug all my band members.
Top 3 shower songs
Bebe: Work by 5th harmony, I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston, and Panda by Desiigner.
