de Witte was born in Ghent, Belgium^[4] on 21 July 1992.^[1] Around 2009, she started to explore Ghent's underground nightclub scene, where she was drawn to electronic music. She started DJing in 2010, mainly playing electro music;^[4] her production work commenced about two years later.^[5] Winning a Studio Brussel DJ contest in 2011, she subsequently performed at the Tomorrowland festival.^[4][5] She adopted the alias Raving George to avoid negative preconceptions against female DJs,^[5][6][7] releasing her debut EP in 2013.^[5] Following the release of a string of EPs on Bad Life and Crux Records, her 2015 single "You're Mine," which featured Oscar and the Wolf, became a hit.^[4]

In 2015, de Witte dropped her alias and started using her real name.^[8] This was accompanied by a change in her music style from previously electro and electro house more in the direction of techno. She cites a set by German Techno DJ Len Faki that she heard at a festival as the origin of this stylistic change.^[9] Her debut EP under her name, Weltschmerz, was released on the same year on Turbo Recordings.^[4][7] This was followed by a string of 2017 EPs,^[7] as well as 2018's Heart of Mine and The Healer EPs.^[2][7] de Witte has performed at various notable electronic music events, including Junction 2 Festival, Boiler Room and Printworks.^[5]

In 2019, she launched her own label, KNTXT.^[6] Artists such as Chris Liebing, Monoloc, or Alignment have released works under KNTXT.^[10] In the same year, she was voted the world's best techno DJ at the DJ Awards.^[11] Since 2019, she has advanced to one of the most acclaimed DJ's in techno, winning notable awards in the industry and earning her the nickname "techno queen".^[12][13]

On February 5, 2021, de Witte announced via social media her engagement to Italian techno DJ and producer Enrico Sangiuliano.^[14] Later that year, the couple released their first joint record, a remix of the 1990 Italian-Belgian trance song "The Age of Love". The remix became a hit, topping of Beatport's 2021 techno bestsellers list and receiving a gold record in 2022 for over 500,000 units sold.^[15][16] The couple got married in 2022.^[17]

In January 2024, de Witte has launched new label Époque, a platform for remixes of iconic tracks from Belgium.^[18]
