Her tracks burst with bright, chiming melodies, and her heavily thumping beats ensure that her brand of instrumental hip-hop is atmospheric but not lightweight. She debuted in 2013 with a self-released digital album titled Myrrh. Her 15-minute track "Fvrfew" took up the entire B-side of Seat of the Soul, a split cassette with Ras G released by Leaving Records in 2014. Leaving Records also released her EVN EP in August of 2016. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
