Elen Levon was born on 13 July 1994 in Ukraine and moved to Sydney, Australia with her family shortly after she was born. She started ballet classes and learning other genres of dance aged three.

At the age of six, Levon found out she could sing and decided it was something she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

She played her first solo show at Australia's biggest urban music festival, Supafest, and toured with the likes of 50 Cent, G-Unit and Lil' Kim for the Winterbeatz festival. [2] [5] Her debut solo single, "Naughty", was released on 30 September 2011. [6] The single peaked at number 60 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. It was featured in Fox8's promotional advertisement for the American television show Gossip Girl . [7]
