Laing was educated at the Harris Academy in Dundee.[7] While growing up she became interested in rave music due to the influence of her parents, and worked as a DJ for the first time in an Arbroath venue when aged 18. While developing her musical career, including a DJ residency in San Antonio, she worked as a dental nurse for 10 years until quitting the profession following a well received performance at Creamfields in 2022.[1][8]
Laing has performed sets at several events including TRNSMT, Creamfields, the Tidy Weekender, and as a supporting act for Idris Elba in Ibiza. In 2022 she performed at the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend after coming to the attention of Radio 1 DJs including Pete Tong and Danny Howard, and she went on to be the headline act on the dance stage at the 2023 event.[1][6][9][10]
In 2019 she remixed the Sophie Ellis-Bextor hit Murder on the Dancefloor, which received acclaim and went on to be included in DJ sets worldwide.[2][6] In 2023 her single Good Love, released with RoRo, spent 26 weeks in the UK Singles Chart. It peaked at number 7, and was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry.[11][12] Also in 2023, Laing was featured on the Tidy Trax album TDV25 - The Remixes, released to commemorate the 25 year anniversary of the death of hard house pioneer Tony De Vit.[13]
