Biography

She began sharing her dreamy introspective songs online as a teenager, also covering songs by the Cure, Frankie Cosmos, and (Sandy) Alex G. After releasing several EPs and collaborating with fellow 'bedroom pop' artists Cuco and Jakob Ogawa she had some viral success with “Pretty Girl” in 2017 and “Flaming Hot Cheetos” in 2018. In 2019 she released the indie-influenced “Bags” as a single, taken from her full album debut Immunity, produced and co-written by Vampire Weekend producer Rostam. It retained her intimate confessional vocals and ethereal keyboards and employed a children's chorus on the closing track “I Wouldn't Ask You”. She supported Khalid on tour and then hi the road in her own right to promote the album. After forming the side project Shelly in 2020, she released “Blouse”, the lead single to her 2021 sophomore album Sling.
