Sabrina Teitelbaum from Los Angeles created Baum characterised by nostalgic yet modern dark pop rooted in the beauty of pain. Sabrina took early influence from Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young. She only began to play live in her high school years after years of writing on the piano or acoustic guitar after school, it was at this point that she really started to develop and discover her sound. Baum has opened for artists such as Holychild, Milo Greene, and Vista Kicks. Sabrina studied the performances of Mick Jagger and David Bowie in order to imitate their strong presences and attitudes.
