Early life and career

In adulthood, she moved to Los Angeles, California, and began making music in 2016, touring with her father and yMusic. In August, she released her debut EP, Pink Elephant, which featured her father performing hand claps. In September, she released demos, featuring demos of two more songs.
In 2018, she was featured on Unstabile's song "Balloons", off the album Steep.
