In this episode of We Need To Talk, viral pop star Caity Baser shares the unfiltered story behind her rise - from being booed off stage to performing in front of thousands, from childhood trauma to finding her voice through music.

Caity opens up about growing up on a council estate in Southampton to a £50 bet that changed her life. For the first time, she speaks publicly about being assaulted at the age of 8 - how it shaped her confidence, her sense of safety, and how it impacted her relationships.

She also shares a later experience of assault by someone she thought she could trust, and how it took years to fully understand what had happened.

Now, through music, community, and the safety of real love, Caity is finding new ways to speak out - not just for herself, but for anyone still learning how to process what they’ve been through.

Caity shares:

◽️ Why she blocked her mum - and doesn’t regret it

◽️ The story behind her most personal song, Weight Of You

◽️ How she fell in love on a music video set

◽️ Her journey with ADHD

◽️ The meaning behind the songs on her new EP
