POPPYMOON was founded in 2020 by 29-year-old producer djaaaen and 26-year-old singer Sabina. Infusing their dark pop music with elements of rock, the pop duo creates a sound that’s dark but nonetheless groovy as hell. Inspired by their own experiences growing up and their viewpoint on today’s world, their lyrics explore topics around mental health, self-discovery, freedom and hope.
Sabina and djaaaen started their musical careers early, with Sabina singing ever since she can remember and djaaaen playing various instruments from the time he was 6 years old. They met in 2011 in a bar when Sabina asked the stranger next to her if he could order her a cocktail, since she was not of legal age just yet (an irresponsible decision that we strongly advise not to copy). Luckily, he obliged and what started as a criminal act sparked a friendship and a musical partnership for life.For almost a decade Sabina and djaaaen wrote and performed music with their rock band, touring Mexico and Germany and playing gigs all over Europe until they decided to indulge in their love for pop music. Their first single “Wanna Play that Game?” was released on September 4th 2020 and addresses topics like rebellion against societal pressure and recognizing your own value. Read more on Last.fm.
