Taylor's parents moved to Mullumbimby ("counterculture capital of the country") from Western Sydney in the early 1990s and turned more than a hectare of subdivided farmland into bush.
[1][2] Taylor worked full-time at her local IGA after finishing high school and saved money to move to the far-western suburb of Laverton, Melbourne at the age of 19.
Taylor went to live music shows almost every week and enjoyed freestyle rapping, meeting her future bandmates at these gigs or in shared houses over time.
