History

Bollinger was introduced to music at a young age, as her mother was a music therapist and her two brothers were musicians.[3]

Bollinger began making home recordings early in high school. She self-released her first EP in 2017 titled Key West. In 2019, she released her EP I Don't Wanna Lose, which was recorded in one day, with very little production or mastering, using some free studio time she had acquired. [4] "Candy", the second track of the EP, was inspiration for Kanye West's song "Donda".[5] In 2020, Bollinger released her second EP, A Word Becomes a Sound.[6] [7]

She released the EP Look at It in the Light in 2022 through Ghostly International.[8]
