B O K E H creates dreamy electropop music in tandem with self-directed and produced visuals to accompany them.
Formerly an actress, B O K E H now pretends to be a musician, making R&B influenced electropop which utilises a kaleidoscope of analogue synths, self-made samples made from iPhone field recordings and drum beats inspired by likes of the 80s and 90s.
At the core of B O K E H’s music, tying together a diverse range of genre-defying sounds, are her confessional vocals, a centerpiece to the cinematic and emotive soundscape that she creates. Often repetitive lyrics are sung like prayers, through her unmistakable, emphatic vibrato, always with an inescapable tinge of melancholy.
B O K E H is the moniker of singer, producer and video maker, Chloë Lewer, an independent artist from New Zealand, based in Berlin, Germany- where she began her musical career as a busker in 2011. She is independent, releasing music under her self-founded label ‘Gloomstone Records’.
Listen to her latest, a self-produced girl-powered alt-pop track featuring ‘Ruuth’ (Germany) and Canadian rapper, ‘Lex Leosis’. The video was self directed/produced in Montréal.
Influences include James Blake, L’impératrice, Okay Kaya, Beach House, Soko, Timi Yuro, Karen Dalton, Air, Kate Bush, Imogen Heap, Weval and Billie Eilish.
