Brooke Candy

Brooke Dyan Candy (born July 20, 1989) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and tattoo artist. She lived in Agoura Hills, California and rose to prominence after starring in Grimes' music video for "Genesis" (2012). After its success, Candy's status in the underground scene climbed as she began to release her own music including the songs "Das Me" (2012), "Everybody Does" (2013), and "I Wanna Fuck Right Now" (2013). In 2014, she signed a recording contract with RCA Records and released her debut major label single, "Opulence", with an accompanying EP of the same name. Later, she joined Columbia Records's U.K. roster. Candy's debut album was originally intended for a 2015 release but experienced a series of delays. Candy went independent in 2017 after a slew of pop-driven singles in 2016, including "Happy Days", "Paper or Plastic" and the moderately-successful "Living Out Loud" (with Sia), and had no label representation. Throughout 2017 and 2018, she toured alongside Charli XCX and Lizzo, headlining her own tour, the Tie Me Up Tour. Candy released her first full-length album, Sexorcism, in October 2019. After a brief hiatus, she released her sophomore album Candyland in July 2024 and her third studio album Spiral in October 2024, both of which showcased a major pivot into experimental pop music with house and industrial-inspired sounds.
