Biography
Housewife (formerly Moscow Apartment) is the Canadian indie rock/pop project of critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, actor and writer Brighid Fry (they/she), a young queer artist who, at 21, is already a veteran of the Canadian music scene. Based in Toronto, Brighid Fry likes to describe Housewife as an unfolding project that includes her collaborators in the studio and on tour.
Working with producer and multi-instrumentalist Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey, Dua Lipa), writer and producer Carrie K (PVRIS, The Regrettes), performer and producer Mikky Ekko (Rihanna, Vince Staples, Diplo), indie pop artist Young Summer and JUNO nominee Derek Hoffman Brighid’s songs pop with singalong hooks and top-notch production. Yet beneath it all, her self-awareness and lyrical poignancy shines just as brightly. Releasing music since she was 12 years old, Brighid’s style has evolved from her parents’ folk, indie rock and post punk influences, to her self-described early-teenaged emo phase, to this contemporary amalgamation of rock, pop, folk and lo-fi— all buoyed by her natural gift for melody.
Brighid is also an activist and champion of the environmental organizations Music Declares Emergency (she helped to Co-found the Canadian chapter) and Earth Percent.
