She found her true belonging in the pubs, clubs and venues of Glasgow’s thriving contemporary music scene. Her debut EP, "Sisters," was launched in September 2023 as a set of four stripped back and reflective tracks. Pippa writes, "Sisters is about my constant journey of understanding what womanhood means to me. It’s an interrogation of the women in my life, and the intricacies of being a young woman in her early 20s. It's about how my mother raised me, how she upset me, how she loved me. It's about friendship, understanding love, and being a woman in love. It’s an ode to the messy, and the beautiful. It's about sisters.” In May 2024 Pippa she released her single “That’s Fine”, a love letter and reflection of her home city of Glasgow, about how the people of Glasgow support each other through struggle with humour, community and togetherness.
