Throughout her upbringing, Murph felt alienated from the conservative southern culture of Alabama and got into trouble for the way she dressed and for posting videos of herself online performing songs with profanity.[11] Murph later left Alabama as a teenager to relocate to Nashville, Tennessee and pursue a career in music, before later settling in Los Angeles.[11]

2025–present: Sex Hysteria and Worldwide Hysteria Tour
In 2025, Murph released her second studio album, Sex Hysteria which spawned several singles including "Touch Me Like a Gangster", and "Blue Strips".
