Behind the name
In the music press, Wehage has explained that her artist name comes from that she "used to be scared of bears. I used to dream about them every night, chasing me up old wooden staircases [...] When dreams come back again and again, I think it's because you are trying to deal with something. I wasn't facing my fears and challenging myself".[3] "Be The Bear is like an appeal to myself to do the things that I find scary or difficult. To stand up, make noise and challenge myself and others".[4]
