She was born without her right forearm due to amniotic band syndrome,[2] but once her grandmother introduced her to music early on, from age six onward, she began taking classical lessons in both piano and voice and learned how to play at a high level despite her disability.

Upon moving to Barcelona in 2013, Canal decided to switch to an online school program to free up more time to pursue music more professionally.

After receiving her certificate from el Aula del Conservatori, Canal began traveling back and forth between Madrid and Atlanta, Georgia,[5] in the fall of 2014, to begin training with vocal coach "Mama Jan" Smith.

Canal recorded the EP with her vocal coach, Jesse Owen Astin, and Demond Mickens, targeting its release on January 29, 2016.

In 2018, Michael Franti discovered Canal on Instagram and invited her to travel to Nashville, Tennessee, to write and record a song with him for his upcoming album.

During that time, Chris Martin, frontman for the band Coldplay, found her music through a post she shared online and was later sent her Instagram profile by a friend.

In March 2023, it was announced that Canal would be opening for Hozier on a number of dates for his Unreal Unearth Tour across Europe and the United Kingdom.
