Bowie Rabas, also known as Baby Bugs, is an alternative musician from Richmond, VA. They are non-binary and use they/them pronouns.
Bowie began releasing music as "Bowie Bugs" on SoundCloud in early 2021, at age 17, before changing their artist name to Baby Bugs later that year. Their first song, "Hey Bunny," was released January 21, 2021, containing lyrics about intrusive thoughts and imaginary friends. It was featured in season 2 episode 5 of the Netflix series Ginny and Georgia, and remains their most popular on streaming services, with over 10 million listens.
In the same year, they released their debut EP, Little Jars of Blood, featuring some acoustic songs similar to "Hey Bunny," and some heavier rock songs, with Ben Seay on drums, Drew Ertzner on bass, and Bowie's boyfriend, Tanner High, on guitar. They also released a rock version of "Hey Bunny," titled "Hey Bunny (Remix)."
In 2022, Baby Bugs released their debut album, Genesis, with a similar sound and themes of mental illness, religious trauma, and unhealthy relationships.
Following the release of Genesis, Baby Bugs decided to pursue making more Folk, Pop, and Singer-Songwriter music, and took a step away from having a full band.
In 2022, they released standalone single "Blue and Bloody," then, in 2023, their second EP, Heavenly, produced by Nxghtshade.
Since then, they have collaborated with multiple artists, including LYELL and Elliot Lee, and released more singles, including "Diseased," which brought back the Bunny character from their original song "Hey Bunny."
In October 2024, they released their sophomore album, In My Bones, featuring Halloween-inspired tracks "You Can't Hide" and "My Corpse Friend."
Bowie is also chronically ill, and has made multiple songs about their experiences feeling 'broken' and being failed by the medical system.
