Poppy

Moriah Rose Pereira, globally recognized as the enigmatic Poppy (and formerly That Poppy), is an American singer and YouTuber whose artistic evolution has become a compelling narrative in modern music. Born on January 1, 1995, Poppy first captivated audiences with her performance art videos from 2014 to 2019, where she inhabited an uncanny valley android persona, sharply satirizing Internet culture and societal absurdities. This early, highly conceptual work laid the groundwork for her reputation as a profoundly experimental and versatile artist unafraid to challenge norms.

Her musical journey began in earnest with producer Titanic Sinclair in 2013, leading to her official debut EP, Bubblebath (2016), which showcased a distinct art-pop and electronic sound. Subsequent studio albums, Poppy.Computer (2017) and Am I a Girl? (2018), continued this sonic exploration under Sinclair`s production. However, 2019 marked a pivotal moment when Poppy courageously accused Sinclair of emotional abuse, severing ties and reclaiming full artistic autonomy.

This liberation catalyzed a seismic shift in her sound. With her third album, I Disagree (2020), Poppy unleashed a sonic assault that transcended her pop roots, plunging headfirst into heavy metal and industrial rock. This bold genre-bending transformation was met with widespread critical acclaim, cementing her as a formidable force in alternative music. The album not only became her first to shatter the Billboard 200 but also spawned the powerhouse single "Bloodmoney." This track earned a prestigious Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance, making Poppy a groundbreaking pioneer as the first solo female artist ever to be nominated in that fiercely competitive category. Poppy continues to defy categorization, solidifying her status as a vital, avant-garde voice in heavy music.
