Early life

Born in Michigan, Liggins grew up in a military family and lived in multiple states throughout her youth.[1] Her uncle, a rapper, had a home studio in her grandmother's basement, which he let Liggins use to record her own track in middle school.[2] Liggins continued to write music in her spare time. After returning to Michigan for the end of high school, Liggins started but did not finish college, as she decided to pursue music full time.[1]

Career

Liggins began writing for artists at Assemble Sound, a Detroit-based development hub for independent musicians, and was eventually noticed by enough producers to release her debut single, "Flowerbomb".[1] Like much of her music, "Flowerbomb" references a real situation Liggins experienced.[3]

Following her debut, Liggins toured supporting Flint Eastwood.[2] Liggins continues to release music with Assemble Sound, including using their space to build sets for her music videos. Her music, usually themed around her romantic or sexual relationships with women, is often featured on Billboard Pride.[4]

Artistry

Influences

Liggins is inspired by TLC, Usher and Britney Spears.[1]

Style

Liggins strives to make her music "provocative, but beautiful".[5] Her music generally combines "cocky" lyrics with a soft voice and playful production.[4][5]
