The Belgian artist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Tsar B (Justine Bourgeus) rearranges the DNA of pop, classical-baroque, and club beats into a rush of life at a breakneck velocity, teeming with astonishment, devotion and curiosity. Throughout her career, Bourgeus has bridged her work into visual mediums such as film, dance and fashion.

In the wake of EP (2016), her debut LP The Games I Play, the 2020 EP Unpaintable and to the stars (2023), Bourgeus polished off high-profile collaborations with the likes of Alexander Chung, Oscar and The Wolf and Nova Twins. During the pandemic Tsar B inhabited one of Salvador Dalí’s legendary cookbooks for the stunning concert film Les Diners de Gala. Over the past few years, Bourgeus emerged as a sought-after film composer and producer, while continuing her impressive individual output.

Her forthcoming third album The Writer is released on January 30 2026.
