Belmont girl

Belmont Girl is one of the creative alter egos of French ambient artist Barbara Braccini, who is also known for her work as Malibu and DJ Lostboi. Under this lesser-known alias, Braccini delves into a dreamier, more experimental side of ambient music. The Belmont Girl project is characterized by ethereal textures, emotional depth, and heavily sampled, collage-style compositions. Unlike her other projects, these tracks are shared almost exclusively on YouTube, as their sample-heavy nature makes them difficult to distribute through traditional streaming platforms.

While the identity behind Belmont Girl has sparked online curiosity—particularly among fans who compare her style to that of Burial—Braccini has openly clarified that she has no connection to the British producer. Still, the moody, atmospheric qualities of her music resonate in similar ways, weaving together nostalgia, memory, and introspection.

Through her different musical identities, Braccini consistently pushes the boundaries of ambient music. As Malibu, she creates delicate soundscapes filled with emotional weight; as DJ Lostboi, she blends nostalgia with minimalist beats; and as Belmont Girl, she explores fragmented sound and immersive storytelling.

Though she keeps a low profile, Braccini’s work continues to captivate a niche but dedicated audience. Belmont Girl may not be on every playlist, but for those who find her, she offers a rich, deeply personal sonic experience that lingers long after the music fades.
