Her cultural heritage, born in Zambia and growing up in Botswana, has influenced her musical identity as she navigates her way in the fast-paced industry. It was her debut 2015 mixtape The Great Mixtape that put her in the spotlight with over six million downloads on Spotify. Her album Birds and the Bee9 won the Australian Music Prize for Best Album of 2017 and the collection of tracks led her national tour in 2018.
