From there she went on to create a series of full length audiovisual albums, installations, and films, breaking new ground for what is commonly known ten years later as the visual album and evolving into an international subcultural maven and powerful performer. To date, her audiovisual projects have earned over 73 millions views on YouTube and 50 million streams on Spotify.
