Skott grew up in the small community of Vikarbyn, Sweden, known for its traditional customs and own language. A village comprised mostly of folk musicians, she learned to play violin at a very young age. She wouldn't hear contemporary music until her teenage years, when she made a trip to the city and discovered Muse. As an avid gamer, she also delved into video game music, composing imaginary soundtracks to favorites like Final Fantasy and Zelda. Skott made her debut in 2016 with the single "Porcelain" b/w "Wolf” to acclaim from Katy Perry and Lorde. She spent 2017 and 2018 touring with artists like MØ and Phantogram.
