Poppy

Moriah Rose Pereira, born 1 January 1995 in Boston, Massachusetts, is an American singer whose career began with YouTube performance‑art videos that introduced her android‑styled persona. After signing with Island Records in 2014, she released the single "Everybody Wants to Be Poppy" (2015) and the EP Bubblebath (2016). Pereira transitioned to a full‑length debut, Poppy.Computer (2017), under Mad Decent, followed by Am I a Girl? (2018) on Sumerian Records, which explored gender themes. Her third studio album, I Disagree (2020), shifted toward heavy metal and industrial rock; the single "Bloodmoney" earned her the first solo female nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance on 10 November 2020. Subsequent releases include Flux (2021), Zig (2023), and Negative Spaces (2024), the latter featuring the single "New Way Out" (4 June 2024). Pereira has collaborated with artists such as Bad Omens on "V.A.N" (January 2024) and Knocked Loose on "Suffocate" (April 2024), the latter nominated for a Grammy in the same category. The album Empty Hands was released in January of 2026 and featured the single "Guardian" continuing Poppy on her alternative metal path. She has toured extensively, including the 2022 Never Find My Place tour and the 2023 Godless/Goddess tour with Pvris.
