Initially based in Melbourne, since 2014 she has worked in Los Angeles. Life and careerRomy Hoffman was raised in a Jewish household.[2] In 1995 as a 15-year-old she started playing guitar with her high school classmate Ben Lee's pop, punk band Noise Addict.[2] With the group, she toured the United States where she encountered the New York-based hip hop culture.[2] She told Tim Colman of The Sydney Morning Herald, "I just did the last tour with them, which was great because I got to go to America."[3] While a member of Noise Addict she was recorded for the track, "Spritz", which is the B-side of their single, "The Frail Girl" (1995).[3][4] She later returned to the US, to spend time writing, in San Francisco.[3] As a result she released her debut solo seven-track extended play, Hyperbolic Logic, in 2004.[5][6] Colman observed, "It's a challenging listen, with Hoffman spitting tight, at times confronting, rhymes over dark, uneasy and engaging beats... The listening effort unearths a poetic and abstract wordsmith sharing personal experiences and insights."[3] AllMusic's Heather Phares noticed, "[the EP], which introduced her passionate and often witty MC style."[7] 2006 also saw Hoffman become the first hip-hop act (and only the second Australian act) to be signed to the US record label, Kill Rock Stars (home to The Gossip, Deerhoof, Sleater Kinney and Bikini Kill).[8] She released her first full-length album, Moments in Movement, in September 2006 created in collaboration with local producer Tony Buchen. The album was nominated for the 2006 J Award.[9] 2007 saw Macromantics undertaking a national tour and supporting Lily Allen's tour of Australia.[8] In 2010, after two years of extensive touring, Romy began work on a dark electro pop record. The single "Sleep" was released in 2010 with remixes by DFA's The Juan Maclean and Brain Children. In 2011 she embarked on a U.S with JD Samson's group MEN. In 2011 she worked on another record as ROMY. This time, a house inspired record. In 2012/2013, the single "Elixir" was released on prestigious house label Nervous Records. The follow up "Home" came out on the chic underground cult label 100% Silk.[10] Hoffman has always maintained her punk roots. In 2011 she made a "schitzo synthy paranoid punk" lo-fi solo record as AGENDER. She played all the instruments on the record. In 2013 AGENDER morphed into an all girl 3 piece, known for their intense, fast, tight knit punk shows. The band's record Fixations was released on French label Desire Records. The band toured the U.S in June/July 2014.[11] DiscographyAlbums
