Hailing from Astoria, Queens, and raised in Baldwin, New York, she first gained national attention in two thousand twelve when she participated in season three of the popular television talent show, The Voice.

Following Cry Baby, she continued to evolve as an artist, releasing two more albums: K–12 in two thousand nineteen and Portals in two thousand twenty-three. Known for her distinctive two-toned hair and doll-like aesthetic, Martinez's visual presentation is integral to her music videos and live performances, often characterized by playful yet emotive themes.
