She was born July 7, 1993 in San Antonio, Texas, and she took up an interest in music from an early age. “My parents and I would fly back and forth from San Antonio to L.A. to try to, we would hope to get discovered somehow and get signed,” she told CHICA. “Many years we would go and I would be recording, writing, performing for anybody who would listen.”

She gave back a lot to our city. We feel very proud to have San Antonio be a part of her legacy.”
