Bino Bames doesn’t believe in quiet beginnings. At just 19, this multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and creative force dives headfirst into 2025 with his debut single: ‘Cocktail Princess’.
Raised under the neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip, Bino Bames embodies the spirit of the outsiders. With Filipino and American roots, he channels the raw intensity of icons who poured their truth into their art—Syd Barrett, Daniel Johnston, Radiohead, Velvet Underground, Mac Miller, Andy Warhol, Kurt Cobain, and Led Zeppelin, among others. With this unfiltered essence, he has crafted a sound that defies norms and is unmistakably his own.
‘Cocktail Princess’ is a genre-bending, intoxicating journey—an ode to chaotic yet beautiful love that hooks you instantly. Its release follows Bino’s electrifying performance at Abbie McCarthy’s ‘Good Karma Club’ at The Lexington, where his stage presence left no doubt: he is visceral, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore.
But Bino is more than just music. His vision transcends artistic boundaries, fusing sound, imagery, and fashion into a unique aesthetic. The music video for ‘Cocktail Princess’ is proof of his hands-on approach. Shot and directed by Bino himself on the streets of Las Vegas using his iconic VX1000 camcorder, it captures the world that shaped his youth—roaring motorbikes at night, adrenaline-fuelled skateparks, and the city’s electrifying late hours. A pure reflection of his life and style.
“I’m third-generation Las Vegas,” Bino shares. “It’s rare to meet people who are actually from there. Growing up in that environment taught me the value of showmanship, but it also showed me what survival means. Surrounded by billion-dollar casinos and neighbourhoods marked by poverty and addiction, I understood from an early age that life is a clash of extremes. If I could survive Vegas, I can survive anything.“
After years in the underground scene, Bino has found his moment. Teaming up with producers Invisible Men and Darryl Reid (Lil Peep, Charli XCX), he has shaped his highly anticipated debut EP, ‘Gathers No Moss’—a collection of songs that blend the rawness of outsider folk with the anarchy of alt-rock.
His impact extends beyond music—his presence in fashion is making waves. He has been dressed by SONGZIO and Undercover at Milan and Paris Fashion Week 2024, and he recently turned heads front row at Mark Fast’s show at London Fashion Week 2025. Bino is not just creating music; he is setting trends.
Bino Bames isn’t here to follow rules. He isn’t waiting for approval. His mission is to tear down the old and build something entirely new.
