Anne DiGiovanni
as deegie
Anne DiGiovanni sent the ultimate goodbye email when she quit her corporate job to pursue songwriting in early 2022: a link to the music video for her duo Only Bricks’ latest single, “Smile, It’s Over :)” that tells her co-workers to “Please keep in touch at 1-800-U-CAN-SUCKIT.” Only Bricks released an acclaimed EP of pop songs in 2018, and their singles and music videos have amassed over a million streams since. Anne now performs as deegie, a pop punk princess who shines a klieg light on the truth of being a woman who is raw, bold, and fierce. She released an EP called EXES about her ex-boyfriends with their names in the titles and debuted EXES: The Musical in a sold-out performance at The Hudson Theatre in Los Angeles in October 2024. deegie is currently releasing songs off her forthcoming EP, Feminism 101, documenting women’s experiences in a man’s world.
