Band/artist history
I'm very passionate about my craft and I look forward to learning from other artists and receiving any critique I can get in order to improve as a lyricist and beatmaker. I take this art as a life-long process in that the stories in my songs will change through my experiences and my technique will naturally shift as I grow as an artist. I think I am very much different from other rap artists in that my topics veer away from the music industry's current pop culture norm of "drugs, sex, and violence." I think I am going against all odds by being both female and Asian, which are very much under represented in the rap scene. However, I certainly do not want to merely be classified under such categories as I am ultimately a lyricist and I want the music to speak for me.
I began rapping nearly 6 years ago and I still continue to write lyrics and record if time permits. I am still reaching to perfect this craft and I am open to working with other artists.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
In the shower each morning!
But to put all jokes aside, I've performed live on a few occassions so far -- mostly for school functions such as projects, poetry slams and talent shows.

I also make beats. If you are an artist and are in need of beats, I sell exclusive rights to instrumentals I've composed or custom-made music.
