Early life

Dupree was born and raised in west Baltimore, Maryland.[6] At some point in her childhood, she moved to Northern Virginia, specifically in Woodbridge. She briefly attended Colgan High School, which she mentions in her track "A Love Letter to Colgan High School".[7] Prior to taking on a hyperpop or digicore sound, Dupree made trap metal under the name yungx$t.[8] She grew up listening to Chicago drill.[8]

Career

In 2019, Quinn joined a Discord server and befriended artists like Midwxst, Saturn, blackwinterwells and Ericdoa, each of which she would release songs with.[9] During the initial COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020, Dupree received widespread exposure from a shoutout by experimental pop duo 100 gecs and her songs (most notably "i don't want that many friends in the first place") were added to Spotify's hyperpop editorial playlist.[10]

In 2021, after a half-year hiatus, Dupree started to release music projects under other aliases such as Cat Mother for her jungle tracks, Trench Dog for her ambient tapes, and DJ Weird Bitch for upwards of hour long mixes. In late 2021 and 2022, Quinn switched to a more hip hop-influenced style for her debut album, drive-by lullabies and its eponymous successor.[2] She is now performing live.
