Emerging in the early 2010s, she became a key figure in the avant-garde pop movement, blending elements of bubblegum pop, experimental music, and electronic production. Notable works include her 2018 debut album, "OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES," which received critical acclaim and showcased her innovative sound design.
