Biography

Hailing from Lyttelton, New Zealand filled with small town vibes and sweet indie musicians, FERBY is the only trashy trap kid on the block. With all music thus far being created from her own mind and hands in the 4 walls of her home, this isn’t as simple as straight bedroom pop. FERBY is redefining the meaning of the genre, creating a newness with each fresh cut. Smashing out homemade beats on Ableton, she’d scrawl her own lyrics on top of chart samples, taking notes from the likes of Princess Nokia, Ashnikko and Baby Keem. Throw in a bit of nostalgic Miley Cyrus’ illicit pop-edged cool, and you’ve got the perfect mixture. With her spat out licks adding a kick, to her surprise, she stood out and gained traction in underground and mainstream spaces alike. FERBY has received a lot of support from Spotify who’s featured her on playlist such as NMF NZ & AU, Local Hype and The Drip. The music spoke for itself, catching the attention of longtime inspiration JPEGMAFIA, leading to her opening up his sold out Auckland show last July. Now seeping into 2023 still reeling from the high that was, the music elevates with each release. The creative process is different each time she sits down and the breadth of inspiration sparks from the world around her - a new video game, an old tv show, or someone she’s become fixated on and how they see the world. Thematically exploring how she can build a universe around each track, insular creativity becomes far reaching in output.
