Her second album, Wallsocket, was released in September 2023 on the Mom + Pop record label, supported by four singles, an alternate reality game, and a tour of North America and Europe. In March 2026, she released her third studio album, U. Her early influences include Skrillex and 100 gecs, while her album Wallsocket drew inspiration from artists such as Madonna, Imogen Heap, Bruce Springsteen, and Sufjan Stevens, as well as country music, 2010s pop, and horror films.
