Life and career

Early life

Plank was born in Australia, and attended Notting Hill Academy of Music. Her parents met in Australia in the early 1990s rave scene; her uncle was a DJ. She first started recording during lockdown; her first works were lo-fi demos. She previously worked at Marks and Spencer.

Early works

On 14 February 2021, she released "Dont U Know", with Frankie Allan and Strictly Banks, and on 13 August 2021, she featured on Reflecting, from Chowerman's EP ANTITHESIS, which also featured Luciferian and Kami-O. On 20 May 2022, Plank self-released "Hate Me". The song detailed Plank's attempts at putting off a potential love interest, due to her own self-hatred. The song brought Plank to the attention of Black Butter Records, who signed her, and rereleased the song on 19 August 2022, the same day as its camcorder-style music video, which was shot with Sexy Lady Massive, a women-only rave in London. On 9 November 2022, she released "Lost Boys", which discusses men's mental health. On 19 January 2023, she released "L.S.D. (Love So Damaged)", which discusses the struggles of a toxic relationship.

Chart success

On 21 April 2023, Plank, Rudimental and Vibe Chemistry, released "Dancing Is Healing", a song about the healing properties of dancing, which charted at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart, and was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). On 25 April 2023, she released "White Noise", which she had previously performed live. On 18 May 2023, she, Turno, and Skepsis released "Rave Out"; the track was recorded as the first of 22 tracks to come out of a January 2023 writing camp, and discusses men's mental health, and charted at No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart. "Dancing Is Healing" and "Rave Out" later appeared on Plank's mixtape InHer World. Plank and Skepsis later collaborated again in February 2024 for "Green & Gold", a collaboration with Rudimental and Riko Dan of Roll Deep, which charted at No. 29.
