Phillippa "Pip" Brown, known as Ladyhawke, emerged as a prominent figure in the 1980s synth pop revival of the late 2000s and beyond. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists such as Nirvana, Electric Light Orchestra, Cyndi Lauper, and Pat Benatar, Ladyhawke's music delves into real-life emotions and situations, evident in albums like 2012's Anxiety and 2021's Time Flies.
Growing up in a musical household in Masterton, New Zealand, Brown honed her skills playing in grunge bands before transitioning to a solo career. Following the success of her award-winning debut album in 2008, Ladyhawke continued to evolve her sound, exploring themes of personal growth and mental health in subsequent releases like Anxiety and Wild Things. Collaborations with artists like Tiësto and Crooked Colours further showcased her versatile talents, leading up to the release of her latest album, Time Flies, in 2021.
