Moriah Rose Pereira known professionally as Poppy (or Moriah Poppy, That Poppy), is an American singer, songwriter, actress and model. In early 2014, Poppy signed to Island Records. Over a year later, her debut single ”Everybody Wants to Be Poppy” was released and in early 2016, she released her debut extended play, Bubblebath.
The unconventional American singer Poppy is the author of well-known hits such as “Girls in Bikinis” and “I Disagree”. Outside of her music career, her surreal visage and internet android persona have made her famous on YouTube, where her catchy, disturbing videos have millions of views.
In late 2016, Poppy became the face of Sanrio’s “Hello Sanrio” collection. In the summer of 2017, she signed to Mad Decent, and in October released her first studio album, “Poppy.Computer”. To promote the album she embarked on her first tour, which consisted of 34 North American cities separated by shows in London and Tokyo.
Her music is the embodiment of paradoxes. Reggae-inspired beats, punky rock riffs and a candy-sweet pop sensibility infuse each of her tracks, co-existing in a wholly enigmatic manner. Her songs are irresistibly catchy, but cheeky lyrics add a depth and complexity rarely found in traditional pop songs. Lowlife showcases her dynamic vocal talent and offers mischievous lyrics like “you’re the highlight of my lowlife.” It’s both playful and powerful. Everybody Wants To Be Poppy, her self-proclaimed “theme song,” shows a clever sense of humor. “I’m just a princess with a pistol,” she sings, and it definitely rings true.
Her upcoming album, Negative Spaces, is coming out on November 15, 2024. She released an EP, the cost of giving up to promote this album with 2 new songs.
