Poppy (singer)
Updated: Wikipedia source
Moriah Rose Pereira (born January 1, 1995), better known as Poppy and formerly as That Poppy, is an American singer and YouTuber. She earned recognition for her performance art videos on YouTube from 2014 to 2019, in which she played an uncanny valley-like android satirizing Internet culture and modern society. She has become more widely known for being experimental and versatile with her artistry and music. Poppy began collaborating with Titanic Sinclair in 2013, before making her musical debut with the extended play Bubblebath (2016). Her following two studio albums, Poppy.Computer (2017) and Am I a Girl? (2018), featured Sinclair as a producer. In 2019, she accused Sinclair of emotional abuse and ceased collaborating with him. Poppy's third album, I Disagree (2020), marked an artistic change from pop to heavy metal and industrial rock. Her switch in genres was acclaimed by critics, and the album became her first work to enter the Billboard 200. It spawned the single "Bloodmoney", which received a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance, making Poppy the first solo female artist to be nominated in the category. After the albums Flux (2021) and Zig (2023), the latter of which received mixed reviews, she experienced a critical resurgence with her sixth album, Negative Spaces (2024). Also in 2024, she featured on Bad Omens's single "V.A.N" and received a second Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance for featuring on Knocked Loose's song "Suffocate". She also launched the web series Improbably Poppy that same year.
