Raised in a family of professional classical musicians, she was supported from an early age in her pursuit of violin, piano, and vocal studies – nearly to a professional level. However, she ultimately chose not to follow a classical career path. Instead, she moved to Berlin to study architecture, where her interest in electronic music began to take deeper root. Upon returning to Helsinki, she began actively developing her artistic practice, blending her classical background with a growing passion for electronic sound.
