About Phoebe Bridgers

Phoebe Lucille Bridgers was born on 17 August 1994 in Pasadena, California, and grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, attending the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts where she studied vocal music alongside future collaborators and contemporaries on the city's indie-folk scene. She picked up guitar in middle school, began writing songs as a teenager, and built her first audience busking through the Pasadena farmer's market and the Old Town Pasadena open-mic and coffee-shop circuit before turning eighteen. The first studio session that drew industry attention came when Ryan Adams' PaxAm Singles series cut her track 'Killer' to a 7-inch vinyl in 2015, which led to the four-song 'Killer' EP and a development deal that brought her into contact with manager Hannah Carlen and the broader indie-rock infrastructure in Los Angeles. Dead Oceans Records — the Secretly Group label home to Mitski, Bright Eyes and Khruangbin — signed her on the strength of the demos and released 'Stranger in the Alps' in September 2017 to broad critical praise from Pitchfork, NPR, The New York Times, The Guardian and Stereogum, with the singles 'Motion Sickness' (a song widely understood as a response to her relationship with Ryan Adams, before the broader 2019 reporting that confirmed her account), 'Smoke Signals', 'Funeral' and 'Scott Street' carrying the record onto end-of-year lists across the indie press. The follow-up arrived in two steps: in 2018 Phoebe Bridgers joined Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker to form boygenius, releasing a self-titled six-song EP that immediately became one of the most-discussed indie releases of the year, and in 2019 she teamed up with Conor Oberst as Better Oblivion Community Center, releasing the duo's self-titled debut in January 2019 followed by a co-headline tour that ran through the spring of that year. Her own second solo album 'Punisher', released on 18 June 2020 — initially intended for 19 June, the date moved forward by Phoebe Bridgers herself in solidarity with Juneteenth — became the defining record of the year for a generation of listeners. 'Kyoto', 'I Know the End', 'Garden Song', 'Chinese Satellite', 'Savior Complex', the title track, and 'Moon Song' built a body of singles that scaled cleanly from the bedroom-headphones context to outdoor amphitheaters, and the record drew four Grammy nominations including Best New Artist, Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. Across the same period Phoebe Bridgers founded Saddest Factory Records as a Dead Oceans imprint and signed Claud, MUNA, Charlie Hickey, Sloppy Jane and others, building a label aesthetic that mirrored her own writing palette. boygenius reconvened for the full-length 'the record', released on 31 March 2023 to widespread critical acclaim — Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR and The Guardian all carried full-length five-star or near-five-star reviews — and the trio's subsequent world tour played arenas and amphitheaters across North America, the UK and Europe through 2023 and into 2024, with 'Not Strong Enough', 'Cool About It', 'True Blue' and '$20' becoming the standout cuts. 'the record' won Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Performance (for 'Not Strong Enough') and Best Rock Song (for 'Not Strong Enough') at the 66th Grammy Awards in February 2024. Phoebe Bridgers is also a prolific guest collaborator — features on Taylor Swift's re-recorded 'Nothing New', The 1975's 'Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America', Charli XCX cuts, Lord Huron's 'The Night We Met' (the song that returned to the charts after the second season of '13 Reasons Why' included her duet version), and dozens of other songwriter cameos sit on her catalogue. The live show, across all three project banners, anchors on the same musicians: a touring band built around her core collaborators on guitar, keys, bass, drums and strings, dressed historically in the white skeleton suits that became the visual signature of the 'Punisher' touring cycle.
