Peter Bibby (born July 21, 1988) is an Australian songwriter and musician.[4] His songs deal with themes of drinking and working-class culture in Australia.[5][6] He has performed at Laneway Festival, SXSW,[3] and All Points East.[7] Bibby has released four albums, Butcher / Hairstylist / Beautician in 2014, Grand Champion in 2018, Marge in 2020, and Drama King in 2024.

Bibby started his musical career as a busker in his native Perth before forming the group Frozen Ocean, and eventually performing as a solo artist.[1]

His debut album, Butcher / Hairstylist / Beautician, was released in 2014. Writing for The Music, Brendan Telford opined "Bibby paints a deliciously perturbing picture of Australian shambolic chic."[8]

Bibby's sophomore album, Grand Champion, was released in 2018. Reviewing the album for KTSW, Samuel Cravey wrote "The album is one heck of a good listen, and its seemingly ironic title Grand Champion aids immensely in selling Bibby’s iconic, slightly-screwy, Australian singer/songwriter persona."[9]

In 2020, he released the album Marge. "Oceans" was released as a single and featured an accompanying music video.[10] The song was included on the Consequence list New Music Friday: 7 Songs You Need to Hear on May 8, 2022.[11]

In 2024, Bibby released the album Drama King. Writing for The Mancunion, Daniel Tothill called the album "a testament to his contradictory nature and kaleidoscopic inspirations, resulting in a joyously varied and unexpected record."[12] Writing for Louder Than War, MK Bennet shared that "The consistent mix and flow of the tracks is seamless, production perfect, a time capsule of twenty-first-century songwriting with its beautiful and broken souls fading into the history of its narrative."[13]
