While in her teens, her parents decided that she would receive education in the United States.[5] She soon got involved in the art of DJing after returning to the US.[6][7][8][9] In regards to this period, DJ Heavygrinder stated:

The genres of music she plays are house, electronica, indie, and trance.[10] Her musical mentors and strongest influences include Cannibal Corpse, Pantera, Deicide, Justice, Gackt, L'Arc-en-Ciel, The Prodigy, Jamiroquai, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Daft Punk.[11][12]
