During second year in high school, Emilia explored different artistic areas where she found her passion for music. Inspired by many musicians (such as Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator, Channel Tres and Little Simz) she taught herself how to produce tracks. Later on, she discovered Southern Katt, an up-and-coming artist, which she collaborated with.

Since she was a child, she was eager to try different things, starting from video production, editing, photography, animation, design and later on, music production. One of Emilia's early work has been published on her Instagram page, which is a stop-motion animation, following the lyrics for a Frank Ocean song named 'Comme des Garçons'.

Later in life, she began to stick more to photography choosing a film and vintage aesthetic. She offered photography sessions for her friends, building up her experience in this field. During high school, her work has been recognized by her school, which offered her more opportunities in photographing more events, as well as using her video production skills for professional purposes where she also offered a course for other students interested in this type of activity.
