Early life

She began recording music during the COVID-19 lockdown in the UK;[4] her first works were lo-fi demos.[5] She previously worked at Marks and Spencer.[5]

On 14 February 2021, Plank released "Dont U Know" with Frankie Allan and Strictly Banks,[6] and on 13 August 2021, she featured on "Reflecting" from Chowerman's EP ANTITHESIS, which also featured Luciferian and Kami-O.[7] On 20 May 2022, Plank self-released "Hate Me".[8] The song details Plank's attempts to put off a potential love interest due to her own self-hatred.[9]
The song brought Plank to the attention of Black Butter Records, who signed her,[10] and re-released it on 19 August 2022,[11] the same day as its camcorder-style music video, which was shot at Sexy Lady Massive, a women-only rave in London.[12]

On 25 April 2023, she released "White Noise",[11] which she had previously performed live.[17]
On 18 May 2023,[18] she, Turno, and Skepsis released "Rave Out". The track was recorded as the first of 22 songs created during a January 2023 writing camp, discusses men's mental health,[19] and reached No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart.[15]
"Dancing Is Healing" and "Rave Out" later appeared on Plank's mixtape InHer World.[20]
