on the Mornington Peninsula to the south of Melbourne. Conflicting reports say she was born in either 1993 or 2000. The artist prefers not to disclose her birth details, explaining, "I never denied my age. I never lied about it. I just don't say anything now... Everything is wrong online." She talked about how she chose a music career: "One day I was at the park with my family, all my cousins and stuff, in Frankston... We were all just singing a song and my aunty was like 'oh guys, she can actually hold a note.' I think that's the earliest memory of someone actually pointing me out as someone that has an ability to sing. I was probably (like) 7 years old." The singer-songwriter had learned to play keyboards and drum pads while at secondary school. She started

Tones was the vocalist for a duo in 2014 remembering: "I started out singing in small pubs and bars in Mornington, I was singing along to a guitarist until I ended up branching out on my own." Note: the user may have to click on "read interview" to access material She explained her shift to a solo career: "I actually got made redundant from my retail job and with that money I bought an RC300 (loop station) and just started to try to figure it all out." She busked "up and down the east coast with her synthesizers and loop pedal, she has been building a loyal fanbase and captivating crowds with her genre-diverse style." In September 2017, the singer-songwriter travelled to Byron Bay, New South Wales to try busking there. Note: includes an embedded video interview by Joe Coscarelli, Alexandra Eaton, Antonio de Luca, Alicia DeSantis, Will Lloyd, Kaisha Murzamadiyeva and Sasha Portis. At an early performance, she met Jackson Walkden-Brown who became her manager about a month later. Her busking success led to a greater commitment to a music career. The artist spent 2018 living between Walkden-Brown's home in the Gold Coast hinterland and in her van in Byron Bay, writing music and busking full-time. Later in the year she won the Battle of the Buskers at Buskers by the Creek.
