Lilly also started working as a voice actress age six, gaining experience and recognition in the industry. During her time at a musical theatre school, she performed in several productions, and also got casted in several musical projects organised by Kinder with whom she went on tour with around Poland. Additionally, she participated in numerous singing competitions, further honing her performance skills.
At 13, Lilly moved to England to attend a performing arts school, with the intent of studying musical theatre (as well as improving her English) but later on discovering a passion for pop music she then decided to transfer to a music school in order to better her classical education. She has since focused on songwriting, performance, and music production, blending her musical theatre background with popular music knowledge.
