Phoebe Bridgers

Phoebe Bridgers grew up in the rose-colored city of Pasadena, attending the prestigious Los Angeles County High School for the Arts to study music. Heavily influenced by Elliott Smith’s sparse lyrics and subdued emotional style—in addition to that of her other favored singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, and Leonard Cohen—her first single “Killer” (produced by Ryan Adams) was released in 2015.

Her debut album Stranger In The Alps was released in 2017 via Dead Oceans and featured appearances by Conor Oberst and John Doe; in 2018, she released an EP with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus as the indie supergroup boygenius.
