At the age of 19, she released her first single "More" independently to wide critical acclaim. She was featured on television shows such as Teen Wolf, Eye Candy, and The Vampire Diaries. She describes her music genre as Alt-Pop. "if you want to label it, because my music is not white, it's not black; it's grey. For smell, I'd say like, sea salt. I love that smell. It's fresh and it's distinctive. It's rare. And for taste, pizza. My music has layers."
