Tommy Lefroy is an indie rock duo based in London, England, consisting of Canadian singer Tessa Mouzourakis and American singer Wynter Bethel.[1] They received a Juno Award nomination in the Breakthrough Group of the Year category at the 2023 ceremony.[2]
The duo first met in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S., in 2017, where both were trying to establish themselves as professional songwriters.[3] They began working together in 2018 after Bethel was exposed to Mouzourakis's online cover of "Ketchum, ID" by boygenius.[4] The name "Tommy Lefroy" is a reference to Thomas Langlois Lefroy, an Irish politician who is thought to be an inspiration for the character of Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice.[3]
After collaborating on songwriting and learning record production, they began releasing singles in 2021,[5] breaking through to wider success when their single "The Cause" became popular on TikTok.[3]
They released their debut EP Flight Risk in November 2021.[3] They signed to Pheromone Recordings in 2022, and put out the non-album single "Dog Eat Dog" as their first release for the label.[6]
