History
Bollinger was introduced to music at a young age, as her mother was a music therapist and her two brothers were musicians.[4]
Bollinger began making home recordings early in high school. She self-released her first extended play (EP) in 2017 titled Key West. In 2019, she released her EP I Don't Wanna Lose, which was recorded in one day, with very little production or mastering, using some free studio time she had acquired. [5] "Candy", the second track of the EP, was inspiration for Kanye West's 2021 song "Donda".[6] In 2020, Bollinger graduated from the University of Virginia and released her second EP, A Word Becomes a Sound.[2][7][3]
She released the EP Look at It in the Light in 2022 through Ghostly International.[8]
Bollinger's work has been highlighted several times at The Line of Best Fit, and she has performed for NPR's World Cafe.[9][10]
On September 27, 2024, Bollinger released her debut studio album Songs from a Thousand Frames of Mind.[11]
In September 2025 Bollinger was featured on the single "Belong to You" by Australian synth-pop group Cut Copy.[12]
