Biography Raised between the United States and Zimbabwe, Africa, Calder moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to work as a dancer for Prince in 1994.

Following completion, she served as a label intern with Twin/Tone Records, where she worked for related acts of Information Society (band), The Suburbs (band), Semisonic and more. Circa 2002, Calder adopted the moniker Lolly Pop and formed Electro-Kitsch act TELEPHONE!. In 2006, Pop emerged as a solo artist produced by Fink, Moir and Autobahn. The following year, she was featured on RockAmerica, the soundtrack of the film Loveless in Los Angeles, appeared at Winter Music Conference in Miami, and in the Paul Moering short film Climbing Trees. Next recruited as the female vocalist for POP INC., she also contributed vocals to and/or produced American acts A*O*A and glean (with Rick McCollum of The Afghan Whigs); British outfits Cuban Boys and The Rude Awakening, as well as Norway's Frode Holm. With The Rembrandts' Phil Solem, Calder co-wrote the theme song for the Launch TV comedy Graham Crackers.
