There's no telling where Poppy might pop up, what she might do, and who she might be working with. But who is she, really? How did she come up with her peculiar character, and what's her endgame with all of this oddness? Let's take a look at the untold truth of Poppy.
Poppy's real name is Moriah Pereira, but as her bizarro YouTube character feels equal parts artificial intelligence and extraterrestrial, she's understandably rather restrained when it comes to her personal life.
She has been known to lift the veil of secrecy on select occasions, including her big 2019 interview with NME. While the article notes that Poppy the artist is notorious for her robotic, quote, "emotionally guarded" presence, it also manages to dig deeper into the person behind the veil.
She reveals that she had a difficult, lonely childhood in Nashville and was bullied to the extent that she was eventually homeschooled. Ironically, she was bullied for being, quote, "skinny and quiet," which combined with spending a chunk of her childhood alone with just her computer for company sounds an awful lot like building blocks for her eventual Poppy character.
Pereira eventually got a record deal with a major label, moved to Los Angeles without notifying anyone, and started building herself under the stage name That Poppy.
It soon transpired that her deal was awful, and she was unhappy with the way things were going with her That Poppy career. When she met fellow artist Titanic Sinclair, the two started collaborating on YouTube despite her label's protests.
Their collaboration would bring her stardom — and eventually, a ton of trouble.
