Banoffee established herself within the Australian underground pop scene, captivating audiences with her distinct electronic sound and vulnerable lyrical themes. Her early work, including the 2015 EP Do I Make You Nervous?, showcased a unique blend of seductive R&B elements and intricate electronic production. The EP’s track ‘Body Suit’ notably explored themes of identity and self-perception, laying critical groundwork for her evolving artistry. Upon relocating to Los Angeles, Banoffee strategically diversified her creative process, fostering key professional alliances, most notably with Lorely Rodriguez (Empress Of) and acclaimed producer Sophie.
This led to Sophie introducing Banoffee to Charli XCX, resulting in Banoffee joining Charli XCX’s backing band for the 2018 Taylor Swift Reputation Tour. This monumental experience provided direct exposure to large-scale productions, performing for up to 75,000 fans per night across numerous international dates, significantly broadening her performance scope and industry insight. During this intensely active period, Banoffees collaborative efforts deepened, contributing vocals to Sophies critically acclaimed ‘Immaterial’ in 2018 and co-producing the track ‘Ripe’ with Sophie. These impactful collaborations, alongside the demanding schedule of a major international tour, profoundly influenced her artistic development and honed her production sensibilities, preparing her for her own full-length project.
Banoffee released her highly anticipated debut album, Look at Us Now Dad, following several years in development and reflecting a period of personal and professional transformation. Co-produced with Yves Rothman, the album delves into deep personal narratives and aims to create music that offers solidarity and shared emotional experiences. It features significant collaborations, including ‘Tennis Fan’ with Empress Of and a powerful guest verse from Cupcakke on the track ‘Ripe,’ underscoring Banoffee’s commitment to elevating fellow artists and fostering a supportive community within the pop music landscape.
