She learned piano when young, and also grew up listening to 1990s alternative rock bands such as The Cranberries, The Breeders, Nirvana, and Green Day. In middle school she was in an all-girls punk cover band, and she started writing her own music around the age of sixteen. She supported her schooling at SUNY Purchase by waiting tables, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in studio composition.
