Poppy

Poppy, born Moriah Rose Pereira on January 1, 1995, in Nashville, Tennessee, is an American singer, songwriter, and internet personality known for her genre-defying music and surreal artistic persona. She first gained widespread attention through a series of enigmatic YouTube videos beginning in 2014, created in collaboration with director Titanic Sinclair. These videos, featuring Poppy as a seemingly artificial, robotic character, went viral and cultivated a massive online following that was equal parts fascinated and bewildered.

Musically, Poppy has undergone one of the most dramatic genre evolutions in modern pop culture. Her early releases like “Lowlife” (2017) and her debut album “Poppy.Computer” (2017) were synth-pop and bubblegum pop. However, she took a sharp turn with “Am I a Girl?” (2018), which introduced metal and industrial elements. Her third album “I Disagree” (2020) fully embraced heavy metal and industrial rock, earning critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance for the track “Bloodmoney,” making her one of the few internet-born artists to receive such recognition.

Poppy has continued to evolve with subsequent releases including “Flux” (2021) and “Zig” (2023), blending elements of nu-metal, pop, shoegaze, and electronic music. She has also ventured into acting, appearing in wrestling promotion appearances and various film projects. Her visual artistry extends to elaborate music videos and live performances that maintain the surreal, thought-provoking aesthetic that first made her famous.

By 2026, Poppy’s net worth is estimated at $4 million, earned through her diverse revenue streams including music sales, YouTube ad revenue from hundreds of millions of views, touring, merchandise, brand partnerships, and acting roles. She remains one of the most unpredictable and creative artists of her generation.
