In 2017, Beihold attended the University of California, San Diego and competed in the NCAA Fencing Championships receiving NCAA All-American Honors in 2019.[12]

She released a string of singles after that and gained attention on the social media platform TikTok for her song "City of Angels". On May 28, 2021, Beihold released her song "Groundhog Day", which too gained popularity via TikTok. Next she signed with Republic Records, with whom she released her most successful single, "Numb Little Bug".[1] In May 2022, she released a single "Too Precious". On July 22, 2022, she released her second EP, Egg in the Backseat, which explored themes of her mental health problems and her relationships.[7] On July 27, 2022, she signed to Sony Music Publishing.[13]
