Early life and career
Lindemann was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and joined the church choir at 4 years old. She began posting recordings of her singing on the social media app Keek, quickly gaining a large following both on the app and her other social media accounts.[1] Her music career began shortly after her manager discovered a video of her singing on her Instagram profile. She then relocated to Los Angeles to continue pursuing music.[2]

We have so much to offer. People should get past the physical appearance to something deeper."[8]
Influences
Lindemann credits BANKS, Lana Del Rey, and Spooky Black as several of her main influences, calling them “the ‘anti pop stars’...off-kilter artists who do their individual thing and are unconcerned with being mainstream.”[9]
