About Poppy

Poppy, born Moriah Rose Pereira, has rapidly evolved into one of the most compelling and unpredictable artists of her generation. Emerging in the mid-2010s with a distinctive blend of internet-infused pop and unsettling visuals, she initially garnered attention for her surreal music videos and viral content. However, it quickly became clear that Poppy was far more than a fleeting online phenomenon. Her music, initially characterised by its saccharine, doll-like vocals and electropop sound, began a deliberate and thrilling metamorphosis.

Her debut album, Am I a Girl? (2018), hinted at this evolving sonic palette, incorporating darker undertones and more experimental production. The true pivot arrived with I Disagree (2020), a seismic shift that saw Poppy embrace a full-blown nu-metal and industrial rock sound. This album, featuring the anthemic hit “Bloodmoney” and the defiant “Concrete”, cemented her reputation as an artist unafraid to experiment and a fearless innovator. Critics and fans alike lauded her ability to seamlessly integrate heavy guitar riffs, aggressive vocals, and introspective lyrics, creating a sound that was both nostalgic and remarkably fresh.

Her subsequent releases, including Flux (2021), which saw a return to more melodic and indie-rock infused territory with tracks like “Flux” and “I Guess This Is Everything”, and the critically acclaimed Staggering (2022), further showcase her remarkable versatility. Poppy’s discography is a testament to her artistic growth, moving from hyper-pop aesthetics to searing industrial anthems and introspective alt-rock. Her live performances are a direct reflection of this artistic journey, often featuring a dramatic reinvention of her sound and image, captivating audiences with her raw intensity and unwavering commitment to her vision. She has collaborated with a diverse range of artists and her ability to reinvent herself ensures that each encounter with Poppy’s music, and particularly her live shows, is an entirely new and exhilarating experience.
