Her love for music began in her adolescent years, much of which were spent in SoCal, where she studied classical piano, competed in dance, and attended any electronic music festival that she could save up for.

She continued to study music throughout college alongside her computer science track. When her job relocated her to San Diego in 2019, she immediately fell in love with the city’s intimate, die-hard house music scene.

In her first year as a professional DJ, she has sold out shows all over the county and opened for high profile artists such as Hugel, DJ Susan, The Sponges, Sam Blacky, and the Echonomists.

Her music style includes a wide range of house, including piano house, deep house, tribal house, tech house — especially tracks that are heavy on the classical elements.

Some of her electronic music heroes include deadmau5, Kaskade, Porter Robinson, and Peggy Gou. She is also heavily inspired by Mac Miller, Frank Ocean, the Black Eyed Peas, and the Grateful Dead and hopes that when people listen to her eclectic taste of music, they will heighten their appreciation of all different genres.
