, saying it helped her get through her depression and get to know herself better. In 2018 she admitted that she used to be a drug addict, but has since given up on drugs, although stated in 2016 that "Weed annabisis not really a drug to me. It helps so many people, with like Parkinson's, and if you feel like shit, or you're suicidal, it can help you so much. That's the reason why I started smoking. I had like so low self-esteem. I've got ADD, I'm borderline, so it really helped me focus and get to know myself." After snapchatting clips of herself rapping to Death Team, they offered to produce her first single. She worked as a bartender, nursery teacher and window fitter before her single started getting attention. She was signed to Rich Parents AB, a division of Universal Music AB and her debut EP '' Suicidal Since 1995'' was released in April 2018.

. Her ''Suicidal Since 1995'' album has been described as "an "open diary" to detail her early life and struggles with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, family break-ups, suicidal thoughts, drugs, depression, and living as a bisexual in a "small-minded town". Prior to her first song ("Smoke Weed Eat Pussy") she spent years experimenting with art and poetry and socialising with fellow creatives in coffee shops. She was described in 2017 by journalist Harriet Gibsone as, "an emblem of the liberal-minded revolution that is thriving online among teenagers and people in their early 20s. She is socially motivated, serious about her social media "art" and as committed to getting high as she is to creating a sense of community among those living in small towns as she once did." She believes the legalisation of cannabis is secondary to women’s empowerment. When asked in an interview in September 2016, "Is that a message you want to get across with your music? Legalise weed?" She responded "After girl power, yeah."
