In March 2023, Wedderkopp started uploading music to TikTok just for fun under the alias Youngmammi, which led to her getting attention from the music industry.[7] Her posts usually feature acoustic covers or self-written songs while playing a grand piano.[9] Wedderkopp was offered a recording contract three months before finishing gymnasium.[1] She released her first single, "Knuser hjerter", in March 2024 through Universal,[9][1] which became the most-streamed song in Denmark on Spotify after a few days.[7] It reached the top five of the singles chart in Denmark and was followed up by her debut EP, Nye tider, released in May 2024.[7][10]
Her single "Så længe jeg er sexy" was successful in both Denmark and Norway, becoming her first number-one single in the latter.[11] The follow-up single "Sammen", a collaboration with Norwegian rapper Marstein, reached number-one in both countries.[11][12]
In October 2024, Wedderkopp won the P3 Guld award in the category of P3 Talentet, along with its prize of 100,000 DKK.[1] The next month, she won in the category of New Danish Name of the Year (Årets nye danske navn) at the Danish Music Awards.[13] She was also nominated in the category of Danish Hit of the Year for "Knuser hjerter".[14] At age 20, she became the youngest performer to open the Orange Stage at Roskilde Festival on 2 July 2025, together with 22 year old Norwegian Marstein.[15] In December 2025, she was named as the third most-streamed artist in Denmark on Spotify.[16]
