Her sophomore effort, 2012's Anxiety, enjoyed success throughout New Zealand, the UK and the United States, and the single Blue Eyes was featured in a Verizon commercial in North America.

In June 2016, Ladyhawke released her third album, Wild Things, to critical acclaim.

Ladyhawke's personal life

Fans buying Ladyhawke tickets may be familiar with the singer-songwriter's unique style, but they might not know about the struggles Pip Brown overcame on the road to success. As a young child, she was frequently ill and spent much of her time in and out of hospitals. At the age of 10, she contracted a rare disease called erysipeloid. Brown's allergies to antibiotics and antihistamines made it even more difficult to treat her condition, but she survived despite falling into a coma.

As an adult, Ladyhawke was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. She attributes her childhood shyness and fascination with music to the syndrome.
