Biography

Hibberd started playing the guitar at the age of 14,[1] later telling Music Week "I write two songs a week, I always have".[2]

Her breakthrough track was "Call Shotgun", which was playlisted on BBC Radio 1 in August 2018.[3] This led to her playing the BBC Introducing stage at the Glastonbury Music Festival in 2019. She has accompanied US bands Hippo Campus and The Regrettes on the European legs of their tours, in addition to her own headline national tours.

Hibberd's music has often been described as "slacker pop".[4]
