Her full name is Kristine Flaherty, but is known by the shortened version in the industry. She started her career in 2003 while she was going to school for psychology and sociology. She believed that hip hop hits were "simplistic, misogynistic and formulaic" and said she could write similar stuff, so she did. After her parody song of the industry was done, she realized she liked what she was doing and expanded her musical repertoire by experimenting with genres. She made her own mixtape in 2005 which she performed locally. She released a self titled EP in 2010, followed quickly by another self released mixtape the year after. In 2012 she got her break and was signed to RCA Records, and promptly released two more EP's. There was bad blood between her and the record company, and she ended up leaving them and without the rights to 60 songs she had written while on contract. Since then she's released a lot more music, and has made a pretty good following for herself through exposure touring and collaborating with other artists so make sure you check out more of her stuff.
Peace.
