Her father, a German diplomat, served as the German Ambassador to Moldova and as the Director General of the German Institute Taipei in Taiwan.[1] Her maternal great-grandmother was fashion editor Diana Vreeland.[2][3][4] She is a grandniece of American diplomat Frederick Vreeland and a first cousin once removed of the Buddhist abbot Nicholas Vreeland. Vreeland spent four months of her childhood living at the German Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica while her father was stationed there. Her father later had an affair and her parents divorced.[5] Vreeland's mother moved them to a Siddha Yoga ashram in Upstate New York.[6] They left New York and moved in with her grandparents in Belvedere, Marin County in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In 2014, Vreeland was signed with boutique music label BlessandSee and began making music full-time. She began working on her EP in 2015.[9] She released a single, Unbreakable Love. Her six-song EP titled Like a Woman Like a Drunkard Like an Animal, which she produced on her own, was released in 2018.[10][11][12] She has cited Fiona Apple and Portishead as musical influences.[13] She began working on a second musical project, titled Please Feel, in 2018.[11]

In February 2019 Vreeland performed at the 21st amfAR New York City Gala, which opens New York Fashion Week and raises money for AIDS research.[14]
