piri & tommy are a Manchester-based duo which consists of vocalist and songwriter Sophie McBurnie (piri) and producer Tommy Villiers.

The pair used to date and were praised for their experimentation with drum and bass and leading the UK with their liquid drum and bass tracks.

The duo met in 2021 on Instagram, sharing their love for artists such as Disclosure and KAYTRANADA. They eventually moved into a student house together and began to make music, taking advantage of Villiers' production experience and Piri’s vocals.

They didn’t have enormous success with their first track “it’s a match” but did manage to strike gold with their hit “soft spot” that exploded on TikTok and peaked at #41 on iTunes Top 100 Dance Songs. This gained them a signing to Polydor Records in June 2022.

The success of the track allowed the pair to follow up with more singles, like “beachin” and “on & on”, which the latter would chart in the Official UK Charts at #99 and would set them on track to release their debut mixtape froge.mp3, containing four previously released singles.

The pair would then collaborate again, separately however, and not under the moniker of “piri & tommy”. This happened due to the pair ending their relationship with each other, and deciding it would be best to part and continue with their solo careers. This, now split, collab was their track “updown” released in February 2023 with an accompanying music video.
