Based in Los Angeles, Chicha first ventured into the music industry working as an A&R intern, and merchandise manager for her close friend Gus Dapperton.[4][5][6] She released her debut single, "Decompose", in September 2019.[7] Shortly after, her music began gaining some traction at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][8] In December 2020, she released the track "name" and its accompanying music video, in addition to her debut EP Oatmilk.[5][9] The EP features production work from David Marinelli, her main collaborator.[10][5]

Bonnie (2021–2022)

[edit | edit source]

In January 2021, NME included her on their "NME 100" list highlighting emerging artists.[11] Later in the year, the publication would write a profile on her as part of their Breakout series covering emerging artists.[4] In March, she released the single "Pistolwhip".[12] In April, she released the single "Anybody Else".[13] She featured on Posse EP Vol. 1, a collaborative EP by Metronomy.[14] In September, she released the single "Grade A" featuring Jawny.[15] In December, she released the EP Bonnie. It featured collaborations with Gus Dapperton, Jawny, and Tommy Genesis.[16] The EP was originally set to release in October.[4] A music video for "Velcro" featuring Dappteron was released the following February.[17][18]

Chicha's profile increased in 2022, during which she was often touring.[19] In January, Complex highlighted her as an artist "to watch in 2022".[8]

Klepto (2022)

[edit | edit source]

In March and May, she released the singles "Sunburn" and "Splinter", respectively.[20][21] The Fader included the latter among their monthly listing of top rock songs.[22] She partnered with American Eagle Outfitters for their "Back-to-School" campaign on the TikTok SoundOn platform.[23] In October, Chicha was announced as a performer for the 2023 SXSW festival.[24] In their announcement, SXSW called spill tab one of 2022's "buzziest artists."[25] Chicha has previously performed for French brands Hermés and YSL.[25][26] She performed in August for the latter's live sessions at Saint Laurent Rive Droite.[27] In November, she released the single "Crème Brûlée".[28] Also in November, Chicha featured on Mac Wetha's "Play Pretend" track.[29]

Angie (2025–present)

[edit | edit source]

Chicha released her debut studio album, Angie on 16 May 2025, through Because Music Records.[34]

Musical style

[edit | edit source]

Featuring a "lo-fi sound and stripped-down production",[27] Chicha's music has been described by media outlets as "alt-pop"[22] and "bedroom pop".[5] Chicha's inspirations include Remi Wolf, Caroline Polachek, and Hiatus Kaiyote.[8]

The Washington Post's Anying Guo has written that Chicha and Marinelli go beyond "run-of-the-mill bedroom pop", with Chicha quiet and often-layered vocals "[slicing] through dreamy, electro-dance ready introspections."[10][n 1] Marinelli's production on spill tab tracks fuse various genres such as R&B and electro-pop.[10] Brenton Blanchet of Complex has called Chicha's music "undeniably sticky", describing her brand of pop as "vocal-layered, sunny-yet-sometimes-angsty, and melody-fueled."[8] A French-Korean, Chicha often sings in French, such as on "Calvaire".[10] Chicha also plays the guitar and ukulele.[19]
