Lolly Pop (a.k.a. Lorraine Price) is an on-stage personae of Brooke R. Calder, produced by the triad talents of Ricardo Autobahn, Monte Moir (The Time, Rihanna) and Doctor Fink (Prince).

Biography

Raised between the United States and Zimbabwe, Africa, Calder moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to work as a dancer for Prince in 1994. After being cast in the Prince & NPG "Get Wild" video, she studied studio engineering with NPG keyboardist Morris Hayes,^[1] and worked for Twin/Tone Records as a Publicity intern. Encouraged to become a music personality instead, Calder adopted the moniker Lolly Pop and formed Electro-Kitsch act TELEPHONE! with producer Howard W. Hamilton III.^[2]

During 2005, while Hamilton produced Har Mar Superstar, Pop emerged as a solo artist produced by Fink, Monte Moir as well as Ricardo Autobahn. In support of her 2006 eponymous debut, the GLMRZ '06 tour ensued with Moir as band leader in an "Electro Pop Operetta" dedicated to Adam Ant^[3] and Sheila E.. The following year, Pop was featured on RockAmerica,^[4] surfaced on the soundtrack of the film Loveless in Los Angeles,^[5], appeared at Winter Music Conference in Miami, and in the Paul Moehring short film Climbing Trees.^[6]. Shortly after, she was recruited for the Ricardo Autobahn super-group POP INC., where she performed backings on various songs as well as leads on "BLVD", "Looking 4 The KLF" and "Hollywood Kills".

While Pop was last seen on a KSTP news reel during 2010,^[7], she was recently signed to Manchester-based Banoffeesound Records for reissues. Separately, Brooke R. Calder continues to supply vocals for and produce projects like A*O*A, POP INC., glean (with Rick McCollum of The Afghan Whigs), The Cuban Boys, Frode Holm of Vanessa, Johnny Normal, The Rude Awakening, Aidan Casserly, and with Phil Solem of The Rembrandts, co-wrote the theme song for the Launch TV comedy Graham Crackers.

Charitable Efforts

Pop worked extensively with the Minnesota 501(c)(3) organization Rock the Cause from 2008–2009; organized RELIEF 2: Electro Boogaloo to help the American Red Cross care for Hurricane Katrina survivors in 2005; founded Music For Charity, donating 30% of her 2005 touring profits to The Salvation Army, Second Harvest Heartland and Planned Parenthood.
