[6]: 8:57 Piri describes herself as a chronically online teenager, and would stay up all night playing Minecraft with people in other countries;[8] she became interested in anime, through which she found J-pop.

[6]: 7:57  During her studies, she idolised the swagger of Doja Cat and Red Velvet,[12] and was inspired by her organic chemistry lecturer, whom she considered following into the profession.

[9]: 25:11 In June 2021, they released the liquid drum and bass single "Soft Spot", which went viral on TikTok and Spotify,[22] prompting EMI to sign them and re-release the song.

[32] In September 2022, the pair supported Charli XCX at a concert in Concorde 2 in Brighton,[33] and in October 2022, Piri & Tommy released the mixtape Froge.mp3,[34] which spent a week at No.

They appeared on Vevo's Dscvr Artists to Watch 2023 list[35] and MTV Push 2023 in November,[36] and were longlisted for the BBC's Sound of 2023,[37] an award ultimately won by Flo.

[52] The following month, having remixed Lucy Tun's "Come to My House", they announced that the EP would be called About Dancing and released the dance-pop track "Dog".

The magazine's editor, Ione Gamble, stated that she chose them as examples of women who had used the internet to their advantage, and that she found it "incredible to hear [Piri] speak so passionately about both [her music and OnlyFans] careers".

[60] Piri then featured on drum and bass songs by Sudley ("Fumble"),[61] Maisi ("Head"),[62] and New York City–based producer Tomcbumpz ("C U Never").

[86] Runa Umbrasko likened Piri's "soft songwriting and innocent, kawaii aesthetic elements" to those of "a Manchester version of Clairo", and found her lyricism "genuine and humble".

[85] Cyclone Wehner of Australian music magazine Purple Sneakers wrote in October 2023 that Piri "blends airy female vocals, syncopated breakbeats and the sonic aesthetics of Timbaland's '90s avant'n'B, UKG, liquid funk and hyperpop".

[65] On stage, she referred to the band's fans as "Piri & Tommy nation", and when performing "Beachin", she threw beach balls into the crowd.

[88] The Scala gig of Piri & Tommy's Froge.tour incorporated a pole routine,[6]: 30:31  which Alex Rigotti of Gigwise described as "a nice alternative from a typical dance choreo".

[21] In January 2024, Safi Bugel of The Guardian noted that Piri's crew for her solo live show comprised entirely "women, non-binary and LGBTQ+ people", and that she was urging other artists to follow suit.

[89] Piri is noted for sharing her personal life with her followers more openly than past performers, which The Times described as a "refreshing change".
