Wagner has been writing songs since the age of 7. Her self-titled debut album was released in February 2011 by the Finnish indie label Kioski. It was later released in United Kingdom and Europe by Bone Voyage Recordings[1] and in North America by Friendly Fire Recordings.[2] In August 2012 Time Magazine listed Wagner as one of the "11 Great Bands You Don't Know (But Should)".[3] Although her debut album was not a big success, it created a lot of attention[4] and in February 2014 Wagner was signed by the American record label Sub Pop.[5]

Wagner's second album When the Cellar Children See the Light of Day was released in August 2014. The album peaked number one at the Finnish Album Chart.[6] It was a nominee for the 2014 Nordic Music Prize which is an annual award for the Best Nordic Album Of The Year.[7] She won the prize.[8]

On 21 April 2015, Wagner performed on the music television show Later... with Jools Holland.[9]

She also did the trailer song for Gore Verbinski's 2017 film A Cure for Wellness, which was a cover of The Ramones song "I Wanna Be Sedated".[10]
