Piri, born Sophie Leigh McBurnie in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, is a British singer, songwriter and producer known for her infectious blend of sugary vocals, pop sensibilities, and dancefloor energy. Initially gaining recognition as part of the duo piri & tommy, her music fuses garage, drum and bass, and hyperpop influences into a unique sound that has resonated widely with Gen Z audiences.

While studying chemistry at Lancaster University, Piri connected with Tommy Villiers, forming a creative partnership that sparked viral tracks like Soft Spot, which quickly racked up streams and led to a deal with EMI. The duo’s debut mixtape froge.mp3 dropped in 2022, featuring playful, hook-laden tracks like Beachin and On & On, the latter reaching the UK Singles Chart.

Since then, Piri has continued to evolve as a solo artist, signing a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and expanding her creative range through collaborations with producers and vocal features. A founding member of Loud LDN—a collective championing female and non-binary voices in UK dance music—she stands at the forefront of a fresh wave of artists shaping the sound of contemporary club culture.

With her signature blend of raw honesty, DIY charm, and unapologetic self-expression, Piri is carving out her place in the electronic music landscape, both as a performer and a cultural figure. Her sets and appearances are marked by high energy and visual flair, including pole dancing and viral stage moments, reflecting her commitment to fun, empowerment, and genre-blurring creativity.
