Her genre-fluid stories of love, loss, resilience and vulnerability explore the liminal space between the alien and the primordial, blending club music with avant-pop elements.

With Caribbean, Indian and East European heritage, their search for identity and belonging in otherness and the universe reveals a self-made, futuristic world where digital and reality blur into each other. Her genre-bending sets have taken her to London’s most vital queer events (Body Movements festival, Club Are, Howl, Riposte...), from joining FKA Twigs for her Mercury Prize 2025 performance (and co-producing her single 'Love Crimes') to debuting at Fabric and Fold, opening the V&A East’s Storehouse, plus lauded guest mixes for Refuge Worldwide, FOLD’s DETECT and NTS.
