Born to upper middle class parents who recognized her high intellect and musical talent at an early age and pushed her to excel, speeding her through school (begin career at age 14), landing her in the Taroushmega Elite Fine Arts University at age 14.

Working hard to please her parents and professors alike, she graduated with honors and excellent skills with the classical piano and other keyboard instruments. After graduation, the young virtuoso found it difficult to land a position with a symphony of any note as her parents desired. and spent a quiet year of routine practice, also managing to pick up a bit of knowledge about repairing and tuning her own equipment.

Frustrated and tired of being pushed by her parents, she left moving in with a friend who tended to be a groupie for off-mainstream bands. She spent the next two years setting up her keyboard on street corners and played for change, often jamming with whatever group her friend was currently panting over. she picked up a bit of street knowledge and began learning to add vocals to her music.

The following year, she managed to get work regularly at a popular bar, establishing a bit of reputation and even earning a bonus and improved her singing. The band from the bar decided to take it on the road and they managed to earn a bit more notice. She managed to learn a bit about electronics, something that helped with her electronic keyboard.

(Patron details omitted for GM use), groomed her, promoted her and she gained the ability to interface with agents and 'movers' in the industry. After her first year with the patron, she was 'discovered', released her first album and even managed a signing bonus.

The following year was spent touring Big Time venues and she netted a healthy contract for her second album. Her voice was only improving.
