BIO

Klypi (pronounced like the Windows paper clip office assistant) is the “pop-star” avatar of AC Carter, a multi-disciplinary artist from Birmingham, AL. Klypi is part electropop - part performance art. Now living in LA and signed to Lolipop Records, Klypi released their first self-produced EP in June 2023 and plans for a full LP soon to follow.

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

________________________________________________

Previously, Klypi released their debut record titled Consensual Hits through Orlando-based Goth Label Popnihil in 2021, and has toured the East Coast with Buddy Crime in Summer/Fall 2022 and Summer 2023.
Klypi has been reviewed by God Is In The TV, Pinstripe Magazine, WOTT, WUSSY MAG, Immersive, and others.

Performing as other aliases, AC has opened for artists such as Molly Nilsson, Girlpool, Of Montreal, and Jennifer Vanilla, and has performed at festivals such as Big Ears, Secret Stages, and Athens Popfest.

Beyond music, AC is a proactive creative who has worked in myriad forms. They have designed their own garments for music videos and live performances, even going so far as to design work for both Jennifer Vanilla and Of Montreal. Additionally, they have curated and produced an event series titled Ad•verse Fest while living in Athens, GA, which highlights electronic solo and duo performances across the music and art spectrum. Currently, they work as a model signed to Wildflowers and have been featured in campaigns for brands such as PUMA. AC thinks of themselves as a secret agent, navigating spaces and places where they don’t necessarily feel completely 'at home,' yet they are driven to explore the worlds of high art culture, DIY universes, and commercialism.
