New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Cornerstone Agency) "Hyperactive pop punk that draws influences from all over the globe." - Rolling Stone
"She applies a full pop arsenal - short catchy melodies, singalong-ready wordless hooks ("woh-oh-oh-oh-oh!") and big beats out of hip-hop, punk-pop and Bollywood - to messges of self-empowerment and tolerance. She hit the small indoor stage at Stubb's as if she were working an arena." - NY Times
