Ladyhawke

Embracing the bright soundscapes of classic ‘80s synth-pop and gritty ‘90s angst, Ladyhawke builds expansive, genre-blurring songs.

Born Phillipa Margaret “Pip” Brown in New Zealand in 1979 and raised in a musical family, she was playing in grunge bands before she graduated secondary school.

In the early 2000s, she played in punk band Two Lane Blacktop and art-rock group Teenager until the latter’s Nick Littlemore heard her solo tunes and advised her to strike out on her own.
