KLYPI

  Klypi (pronounced like the Windows paper clip office assistant) is the “pop-star” avatar of AC Carter: multi-disciplinary artist from Birmingham, Alabama. Klypi is part electropop - part performance art. Now living in LA and signed to Lolipop Records, Klypi is prepared to release their first self-produced EP in June and Sophomore LP in November 2023.

Klypi is described as an alien who is trapped on Earth, and recognizes the only way to survive as a human is to become a successful businessman (as well to learn to tackle a whole range of human emotions and experiences). Isolation and unrequited love are just a couple themes that run through Klypi’s work.

Additionally, Carter states “What is it like to tell the story in real time of someone pursuing their dreams before they catch their big break?”
