April Harper Grey，艺名underscores，是一位来自旧金山的美国唱作人和制作人。她从小就开始创作音乐，并通过2016年至2020年间的一系列EP积累了一批狂热追随者。她的首张专辑《Fishmonger》（2021年）标志着一个突破，此后她又发行了两张专辑：《Wallsocket》（2023年）和《U》（2026年），均由Mom + Pop Records发行。她的音乐风格不拘一格，融合了hyperpop、流行朋克、回响贝斯、独立摇滚和中西部情绪音乐。她曾领衔巡演，为100 Gecs和Charli XCX等艺人开场，并在Lollapalooza、Electric Forest和Corona Capital等大型音乐节上演出。Grey的现场表演以其沉浸式的能量而闻名，她曾表示有兴趣扩展到短片领域。截至2026年，她继续发展自己的声音和视觉美学，建立在植根于在线音乐社区的半公开历史之上。[编辑]

Grey在旧金山Miraloma Park社区长大，这是一个多山的郊区。她有菲律宾裔美国人的血统。虽然她的父母来自宗教家庭，但他们并没有把她培养得特别虔诚。尽管如此，她在一所全男生天主教学校读了九年书，每周去教堂三次，她称这段经历是她生活中一个巨大的存在。

她从小就很有创造力，7岁时用GarageBand循环制作了一张名为《Records by Devon Jutike》的CD，包含30首一分钟长的歌曲。她小时候运营过一个Minecraft YouTube频道，在高中时自称是个乐队怪胎。她早期的音乐影响包括麦当娜、Jack White和Beck。转折点出现在她十几岁时听到Skrillex的《Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites》，这让她接触到了回响贝斯和电子舞曲制作。13岁时，她开始以underscores的名义在SoundCloud上发布器乐回响贝斯。她的首张EP《Air Freshener》（2016年）主要是器乐作品。2017年的EP《Skin Purifying Treatment》加入了爵士乐影响和原创歌词，使她的项目脱离了孤立的起源。她于2019年发行了《We Never Got Strawberry Cake》，2020年发行了《Character Development》。在此期间，她还在声音库平台Splice工作，做电子表格工作并将原始音频切分成采样包，其中一些后来出现在她的专辑《U》中。她还以Milkfish的别名与室友在布鲁克林的Rash等俱乐部进行四人背靠背混乱DJ演出。[编辑]

2021年3月，Grey发行了她的首张专辑《Fishmonger》，这张专辑是在疫情期间在她童年的卧室里录制的。专辑中包括《Your Favorite Sidekick》和《Spoiled Little Brat》等曲目。同年晚些时候，她发行了一张配套EP，并为100 Gecs的美国巡演开场，这成为她职业生涯的一个重大突破。2022年初，她开始了第一次领衔巡演。她还在WUNDERWORLD FEST演出，在那里观看tsubi club的表演是一个真正的觉醒时刻，让她看到了自己这个层级可能达到的高度。

她的第二张专辑《Wallsocket》于2023年9月在Mom + Pop Records发行。这是一张关于美国小镇的复杂概念专辑，得到了四首单曲、一个替代现实游戏以及北美和欧洲巡演的支持。流媒体热门曲目包括《Locals (Girls Like Us)》和《Cops and Robbers》。Grey将这张专辑描述为她对上帝和有组织宗教的清算，源于她的天主教学校教育经历。发行过程尤为精心：她在白板上绘制了各个组成部分，她的父亲开玩笑说唱片公司会以为她疯了。

2026年3月，她在Mom + Pop Records发行了第三张专辑《U》。灵感来源于为超市等公共场所创作流行音乐的愿望，最终呈现出过度饱和的效果。专辑中有一首名为《Music》的曲目，Grey尝试了人声技巧，包括在唱歌时敲击自己的脖子以产生中断效果。她计划于2026年秋季为Charli XCX开场。她还曾为Porter Robinson和Danny Brown开场，并在Lollapalooza、Electric Forest、FVDED in the Park和Corona Capital CDMX的主舞台演出。[编辑]

Grey的音乐风格不拘一格，在hyperpop、流行朋克、回响贝斯、独立流行、摇滚和中西部情绪音乐之间跳跃。她的视觉美学包含流程图、白板规划和沉浸式的世界构建。媒体形容她创造沉浸式世界，并拥有植根于在线音乐社区的半公开历史。她的社交媒体声音自嘲且充满创作执念。官方粉丝名称尚未确认。[编辑]

Underscores has cultivated a digital-native following that mirrors the artist's own genre-fluid approach, favoring direct interaction and immersive world-building over traditional fan club structures. The audience is deeply engaged with the intricate flowcharts and whiteboard planning that define the visual aesthetic, often dissecting the logic behind the music in online communities rather than organizing into a formalized group. While the fanbase actively supports touring stops and new releases like "The Peace," there is no documented official name for the collective, nor are there recorded rituals or large-scale campaigns typical of more established pop icons. This organic growth reflects an appreciation for the artist's relatable persona and the specific lore built around her early GarageBand experiments and chaotic DJ sets. Despite a substantial social media presence and recent high-profile slots supporting acts like Charli XCX, the community remains defined by shared enthusiasm for the music itself rather than a distinct mythology or legendary incidents involving crowd disruptions. According to the iFANN Global Fame Engine evaluated in August 2026, Underscores is currently evaluated but does not hold a placement in the published rankings.[编辑]

April Harper Grey created a CD of 30 one-minute GarageBand songs at age seven titled Records by Devon Jutike, showcasing an early obsession with sound design. She ran a Minecraft YouTube channel as a child, a project she later connected to the pipeline that led to her hyperpop style. During her college years, she performed chaotic four-person back-to-back DJ sets with roommates under the alias Milkfish at clubs like Rash in Brooklyn. Some sample packs she developed while working at Splice eventually appeared on her album U. For Wallsocket, she created elaborate flowcharts and whiteboard plans so detailed her father joked her label would think she was crazy. She recorded vocals for Fishmonger in a car during the pandemic and physically whacked her neck while singing to create a percussive vocal effect on U. Born on April 21, 2000, she attended an all-boys Catholic school for nine years despite being female. Her formative influences include Jack White, Beck, and Madonna. Recent career highlights include the release of the music video for "The Peace" filmed on a soundstage and her active support role on Charli XCX's tour in 2026.[编辑]

Grey的母亲从事奢侈品珠宝销售。她的父亲曾是一名音乐人，在Elton John的唱片公司发行过一张专辑，现在从事科技行业。她提到父亲帮助了她《Wallsocket》的创作过程，并提到他对她精心规划的反应。她有菲律宾裔美国人的血统。Grey尚未公开分享关于兄弟姐妹或当前家庭状况的细节。[编辑]

2021年，Grey为100 Gecs的美国巡演开场。她还曾为Porter Robinson和Danny Brown开场。她计划于2026年秋季为Charli XCX开场。她曾与室友以Milkfish的别名进行DJ表演。在WUNDERWORLD FEST观看了tsubi club的演出后，她将其视为自己的影响来源。[编辑]

截至2026年，Underscores尚未公开确认任何恋爱关系。她保持个人生活的私密性，没有可靠来源报道过去或现在的伴侣。她的感情状况不为公众所知。[编辑]

Per iFANN's editorial analysis, Underscores' net worth is estimated at $500,000 as of 2026. As an emerging independent-to-mid-level touring artist, her income streams are diverse and robust. Streaming revenue from three albums Fishmonger, Wallsocket, and U plus multiple EPs and singles contributes a steady but modest income. Touring serves as a major earner: she headlined her first tour in 2022, followed by North American and European tours for Wallsocket, and opening slots for 100 Gecs, Porter Robinson, and Danny Brown. She has also played main stages at major festivals like Lollapalooza, Electric Forest, and Corona Capital. Grey signed with Mom + Pop Records for Wallsocket and subsequent releases, which likely included advances. Merchandise sales from tours and her online store add revenue. Before her music career took off, she worked at the sound library platform Splice, and some of her sample packs from that time appear on her album U, potentially generating ongoing royalties.[编辑]
