Bio
RTP’s enigmatic girl-in-chief PP is a front-woman with an incredible story to tell. Raised in the jungles of Papua New Guinea by a fanatical preacher father (No, really - We couldn’t make this stuff up), PP has ridden an unconventional path to rock enlightenment. Up to the age of 18 she had still not heard her first pop or rock record (her strict religious upbringing forbade it). But determined to escape a stifling church, she fled to London, taught herself the guitar and made her first band recruit at a bus stop in West London. With nods of approval from peers like The Automatic and a burgeoning wave of critical acclaim from the UK’s most discerning press, RTP have been winning fans in recent months with their blistering live performances and leading lady’s inescapable presence and song-writing ability. As big fans of Metric and the Pixies (amongst others), this is a band that deliver intense and charged live sets.
