Catherine Egbert, also known by her stage name Saoirse Dream (sometimes stylized all-lowercase), is an American musician. She is a member of the hyperpop band Webcage.
Career
Egbert grew up in Santa Cruz in Northern California, where she played as a bassist in a number of punk rock bands and produced electronic music under various aliases.[1] Soon after she moved to Portland, Oregon in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown led her to return to the online music scene, releasing music on Soundcloud.[1] During this time, she played in online music festivals such as Goop House.[2]
In 2021, Egbert released let the sky in, her first album as Saoirse Dream, however she considers this album to be her "album number zero" and not a proper debut.[1] Later that year, she released her second album everything✱, which she considers her real debut album.[1] She first performed live as Saoirse Dream at Mano Oculta in Portland in August 2022.[1] That same year, she released her third album star★☆.
From 2023 to 2025, she released a series of singles preceding the release of her fourth and self-titled album saoirse dream.[3][4] The rollout of this album was accompanied with her Simulacrum Tour, a large tour through the U.S. and Canada.
Sometimes, Egbert performs with a live band featuring herself and siblings Cleo McKenzie and Roy McKenzie, and Egbert has clarified that this band is still called Saoirse Dream.[1][5] She often plays in underground venues which attract queer and transgender audiences, sometimes including furries.[5][6]
Egbert also DJs under the alias DJSUSIEDELTARUNE[7], a reference to the character from the video game Deltarune.
Artistry
Saoirse Dream is typically called a hyperpop artist[1], but as of her self-titled album release, she has identified her style as both hyperpop and rock, as well as "Wizard Sleaze", a variation on Indie sleaze.[4][8] Describing her style she said,
"Musically it's kind of electro rock, with this glittery pop edge to it and those hyperpop influences. But more importantly, it's about the visual aspect. Ethereal, grungy, not cunty but maybe a little shitty in the sense that you kind of sound like an asshole. Emo chiptune meets electroclash meets zoomergaze energy."[4]
She calls fellow electronic music projects 100 gecs and Oklou Wizard Sleaze, but specifically calls out The Dare as not fitting the label, claiming that he is not "weird" enough.[4]
Name
The name Saoirse is of Irish language origin, and while she was born in the U.S. she does have Irish ancestry. She describes herself as being an "Otaku for Ireland".[9]
