purpl is a rising alt-pop artist and producer from Dorset, now based in Bristol, known for blending autobiographical lyrics with dreamy textures and contagious melodies. With influences spanning PinkPantheress, Clairo, Fleetwood Mac, The 1975, and Men I Trust, purpl’s sound is a unique fusion of bedroom pop intimacy and nostalgic warmth — driven by hip-hop drums, airy synths, and a voice that’s both angelic and disarmingly honest.
Her breakout single HAWAII has amassed nearly 2 million streams, backed by playlist features across Spotify, plays on BBC Radio 1, and in-store syncs with H&M and Starbucks. purpl’s live presence has grown steadily, from supporting Jessie Jo Stark at Dareshack, to a headline EP launch at Rough Trade East, to a sold-out show at Thekla — a long-time dream venue.
Now navigating a new chapter following the end of both a personal and creative partnership, purpl has chosen to step fully into her artistry — self-producing future releases with a renewed focus on honesty and raw emotion. “Music is therapy to me,” she says. “I write when I feel my loneliest. I want my songs to be a place people can turn to — to feel seen, heard, and understood.”
With a vinyl release featuring her first two EPs already under her belt, purpl’s next era is set to be her most authentic yet — full of delicate grit, late-night truths, and the kind of comfort only music can give.
