London-based rapper, songwriter, and DJ Shygirl makes brash, charging pop songs that draw from grime, post-industrial hip-hop, and experimental club styles. Easily recognizable by her fast, direct rhymes and often unraised voice, she frequently collaborates with producer Sega Bodega, with whom she co-founded the NUXXE label/collective, and has additionally worked with SOPHIE, Arca, Zebra Katz, and others. Shygirl's discography includes critically acclaimed EPs and singles such as 2019's "BB" and 2020's ALIAS. She moved in a more melodic direction with singles like "Firefly," leading up to the release of her 2022 debut album, Nymph, and embraced full-on dance music with 2024's Club Shy and its 2025 sequel. Fabric Presents Shygirl, her first mix CD, arrived in 2024.
