About Poppy:

Poppy, previously known as That Poppy, is an American vocalist, songwriter, musician, and content creator on YouTube. She gained prominence for her performance art videos on the platform starting in 2014, wherein she embodied an android that parodied Internet culture and contemporary society.

During this initial phase, she collaborated with Titanic Sinclair, a partnership that concluded in 2019 following allegations of emotional abuse against him. In 2024, she launched the web series “Improbably Poppy”, further showcasing her artistic range.

Poppy is recognized for her innovative approach and adaptability across her artistic endeavors, public persona, and musical compositions. Her first two albums, which predominantly incorporated pop elements, achieved moderate commercial success.

Her transition to heavy metal and industrial rock with her third album, “I Disagree” (2020), marked a significant milestone, as it became her inaugural entry on the Billboard 200. The album’s single, “Bloodmoney,” garnered a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, positioning Poppy as the first solo female artist nominated in this category.

Following a period of experimentation, she experienced a critical revival with her sixth album, “Negative Spaces” (2024). In the same year, she contributed to Bad Omens‘s “V.A.N” and Knocked Loose‘s “Suffocate,” the latter of which earned her a second nomination for the Grammy for Best Metal Performance.

Her seventh album, “Empty Hand”s (2026), further solidified her presence in the music industry, marking her second entry on the Billboard 200.
