Career

Early singles and Cash Only

In late 2019, Defteros released her debut single "Swim", which led her to be a finalist for the Billy Thorpe Scholarship. [1] She also took out the Emerging Artist award at the 2020 Queensland Music Awards. [2]

In March 2020 she released her second single, "Second", which she described was about: "a period of time in my life where I was going out partying too frequently and not being able to recall much from the night before". [3] It ended up polling at number 69 in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2020, marking her first appearance in the annual countdown. [4]

Her next singles "Common Denominator" and "Miscommunicate" were released in 2020, [5] [6] promoting her debut EP, Cash Only (2021). [7] Throughout 2020 and 2021, Defteros performed at Splendour in the Grass, St Jerome's Laneway Festival, and King Street Crawl. [8]

Clash of the Substance

On 17 September 2021, Hope D released "Happy Hangover", a song co-written with close friend G Flip. Defteros said the song is about "fully tripping out and having experiences that will later become nostalgic". [9] In July 2022, she released "Emerald" and announced the forthcoming release of her debut studio album, Clash of the Substance, which came out on 10 February 2023. [10] [11]
