Phoebe Bridgers

The Grammy-nominated indie-rock songwriter Phoebe Bridgers was born on August 17, 1994, in Pasadena, California. After releasing her earliest recordings through Ryan Adams' Pax AM label, she earned critical acclaim with Stranger in the Alps, her 2017 solo debut, as well as her boygenius project with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. She remained in the collaborative spirit for years, releasing one-off duets with Fiona Apple, Lord Huron, the 1975, and the National's Matt Beringer while recording an entire album, Better Oblivious Community Center, alongside Conor Oberst. By the time her second solo record, Punisher, appeared in 2020, she had become a commercial success in addition to a recurring critics' pick, with the album cracking the Top 10 in Scotland, New Zealand, and the UK, while peaking at Number 2 on the U.S. Alternative chart. Several solo and collaborative releases have since followed in its wake, including a cover of the Metallica classic "Nothing Else Matters" for 2021 Metallica tribute album The Metallica Blacklist, the  So Much Wine EP (2022) and "My Misery Will Bury You" with US band Sloppy Jane.
