After the purchase of an Emerson turntable at 8, Lolly Pop developed an immediate fixation with music. Through her childhood and teen years, she scoured record stores for hits, was a Top of the Pops addict and staged nightly lip synch shows honoring her early favorites: Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Falco and Shannon.

Pop later migrated to Minneapolis- home of Lipps Inc, Prince, Information Society, Miss Richfield et all. As a club kid and aspiring artist, she appeared in Prince & The NPG’s Gett Wild video and with the Lords Of Acid on their Heaven Is Coming tour. Shortly after, Pop formed TELEPHONE!, an electro-hop outfit that caught the attention of Matt “Dr.” Fink (Prince & The Revolution, Insider). Seeing Pop live, Monte Moir (The Time, Janet, Thelma Houston)— armed with synths and a slew of ideas— followed suit.

In 2005— while searching the Net for the KLF— Pop randomly collided with Autobahn. The four (Autobahn, Pop, Moir, Fink) spent 2006 composing Pop’s infectious “4-On-The-Floor” full-length debut, Lolly Pop. The album also includes appearances from The Couture Club (Pop’s all-male live backing act), Jenny McLaren (Spray, The Cuban Boys), Nadine Light (TELEPHONE!, Sole City) as well as the outrageous talents of voice-over artist Kendrick Smetana.
