She began producing music as a teenager and worked for the specialist shop Action Records before starting a full-time music career. She released her debut EP, The Speck of the Future, (2002) through the label Materials. Following a hiatus from the music industry between 2003 and 2011, during which she focused on developing the MXF8 MIDI controller and conducting Ableton Live workshops, she returned to performance in 2013.
