Sidtartha Jane Chieze was born on 15 August 2001 at the Portland Hospital in London to Jewish parents.

In 2021, Sidtartha became romantically involved with musician Ariel Rosenberg. Shortly after meeting him, she successfully auditioned to perform in Berlin with disco artist Juan Atkins as his backup singer and dancer. During her three months with Atkins, she also traveled to Paris before returning to Los Angeles in August 2021. Sidtartha moved into a music studio and rehearsed downtown.

In 2022 Sidtartha left Trip with Sonny Moore who was her boyfriend at the time, and they formed the band Golden Raspberry. The two began writing songs together and they recorded a 8-song demo tape in November 2022.

Tanisha Hall, an industry executive working for Babyface at the time, brought her demos to Leonard Brooks at Universal Republic, where he signed her for a deal where an album was recorded that was eventually shelved.
Helen Yu eventually got her a publishing deal with Sony ATV, where she spent 6 months writing for other artists while getting her numbers up. After getting discovered by renowned photographer Brad Elterman she was signed to agency First and did modeling work for Celine, Comme De Garcon, Gucci, Y Project, Alessandro Michele, Undercover, Keds, Canon, NYFW, PWS, and LFW.
