About Poppy

Poppy, born Moriah Rose Pereira, has carved a unique and captivating niche in the music industry since her emergence. What began as an experimental pop project with a quirky, hyper-stylised online persona has blossomed into a multifaceted artistic evolution, defying easy categorisation. Poppy initially gained traction with viral YouTube videos that showcased her distinctive visual style and an uncanny knack for crafting infectious, yet often unsettling, pop hooks. Her early work, exemplified by tracks like the deceptively saccharine yet darkly humorous “Lowlife” and the catchy, slightly off-kilter “I Didn’t Care,” garnered significant attention for its playful subversion of pop music tropes.

However, Poppy has never been one to remain static. Her artistic trajectory has seen a dramatic and exciting shift towards heavier, more aggressive sonic territories, without abandoning her melodic sensibilities. This transformation was particularly evident with her 2020 album, I Disagree, which saw her embrace a nu-metal and industrial-infused sound that proved both critically acclaimed and a revelation to her fanbase. Hits like “Concrete” showcased her powerful vocals alongside blistering guitar riffs and a raw, emotive delivery, while “BLOODMONEY” solidified her commitment to this darker, more intense sonic palette. Further explorations into industrial metal continued with her 2021 album Flux, demonstrating a continued willingness to push boundaries and refine her evolving sound. Poppy’s ability to seamlessly weave together elements of pop, metal, industrial, and even some avant-garde touches creates a soundscape that is both challenging and undeniably compelling. Her career is a testament to artistic growth, a fearless embrace of experimentation, and a remarkable talent for connecting with her audience on a deeply emotional and intellectual level, all while maintaining a captivating and enigmatic presence.
