Filled with curiosity and questions of identity, Toronto’s Housewife (Brighid Fry - she/ they) makes the sort of indie-leaning, exploratory music that it’s taken several years of early success and subsequent growth to reach. First breaking through in her teens as one half of Moscow Apartment, the duo swiftly won a Canadian Folk Music award for their self-titled debut EP before changing their name and then becoming a solo project in 2022. As Brighid hit her twenties and stepped front and centre, the material that she was writing became increasingly more self-aware and personal, too. Housewife has toured extensively across the US, Canada and UK with artists including Paolo Nutini, Lauran Hibberd and Addison Grace. Recent singles Life Of The Party, Wasn't You, I Lied, Fuck Around Phase and King of Wands have picked up support across the globe including SiriusXM, BBC Radio 1, CBC and BBC 6Music. More than ever, Brighid Fry knows herself and the result is a project that’s getting more confident in the idiosyncrasies of is own skin by the day. “Some people say that this music is political or it has very strong messaging and I think that’s great,” she says, “but really for me, it’s just a way to process life.”
