Background
Audrey Sandra Hobert was born in New York City[1] and grew up in Los Angeles.[2] Her brother is Malcolm Todd, also a musician.[3] Her father, Tim Hobert, was a writer and producer for Scrubs and The Middle.[4] She went to Palisades Charter High School in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles.[5]
Audrey Hobert returned to New York as an adult and graduated in 2021 from New York University in Manhattan, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in screenwriting.[6] Afterwards, she worked as a writer's production assistant at Warner Bros.[7] She was a staff writer on every episode of the Nickelodeon sitcom The Really Loud House (2022–2024).[8] The show was executive produced by her father, Tim Hobert, who was also the program's showrunner.[9]
Audrey Hobert then ventured into songwriting, working with close friend Gracie Abrams.[10] The two had met at Abrams's fifth-grade graduation.[4] They co-wrote songs for Abrams's 2024 studio album The Secret of Us. Notably, Hobert co-wrote the international hit song "That's So True", as well as providing backing vocals for it.[11] The track was at the top of the UK singles chart for eight weeks.[12] Hobert has accompanied Abrams in live performances of the song.[11] She also directed the music videos for the album's singles "Risk" and "I Love You, I'm Sorry."[10]
Hobert signed a publishing deal with Universal Music Group and co-wrote many tracks for other artists,[4] including "Start All Over" for Alessi Rose, an English singer and songwriter, which appeared on Alessi Rose's second EP For Your Validation (2025).[13] Through Universal, Hobert met Ricky Gourmet, who co-produced Finneas' debut album.[4] On May 9, 2025, Hobert's debut single, "Sue Me",[14] came out.[4] The song was the fifth song she wrote by herself.[15] In June 2025, she followed it with "Bowling Alley" and performed her first headlining concert.[16] Hobert has cited idiosyncratic writers and performers—including comedians Steve Martin and Nathan Fielder, playwright Annie Baker, and musician Taylor Swift—as formative inspirations for her deadpan humor and narrative-focused songwriting style.[17]
In July 2025, she released the song "Wet Hair" and announced the release of her debut album, Who's the Clown?, which was released in August.[18] She began The Staircase to Stardom Tour, beginning December 1, 2025 in San Francisco. The tour is scheduled to end on October 13, 2026, in Oakland. On August 6, 2025, Abrams brought Hobert on stage at a show at the Kia Forum to perform an unreleased song they worked on together, "Minibar". It was recorded about the same time as "That's So True",[19] and later appeared on Abrams' third studio album, Daughter from Hell (2026).
Hobert made her TV debut on October 20, 2025, performing "Sue Me" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[20][21] In November, she was listed on Vevo's "DSCVR Artists to Watch" list for 2026.[22] She appeared on NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts in August 2026.[23][24]
