Biography
She has been making music since she was eight years old, and has spoken about growing up with synesthesia, which is when stimulation in one physical sense causes a response from another. This caused her to envision shapes and colors in response to auditory input.[7]. [8] Rosinkranz used to help her father with ideas for songs he was writing for various television shows and commercials.[9] Rosinkranz came to wide recognition when her song "Backyard Boy" went viral on the video-sharing app TikTok.[8][10] Rosinkranz's first extended play (EP) was released in 2020, titled Beverly Hills Boyfriend.[9] Rosinkranz released her second EP, 6 of a Billion, in 2021.[11] On October 6, 2023, she released her debut album, Just Because.[12] On October 6, 2025, she performed at her first arena concert at PHX Arena in Phoenix, Arizona as an opening act for Maroon 5's Love Is Like Tour.[13] On February 13, 2026, her second studio album, My Lover, was released.[14] The album featured the single "Chronic", in which she wrote about her experiences with chronic illness.[14] She headlined a North American tour in support of the album and opened for Alex Warren on his European tour in the spring of 2026.[15][14]
