Bowman was born on August 11, 1990, and raised in Hamilton Township, Mercer County, New Jersey. She attended Steinert High School, graduating in 2008. [2] Bowman has been singing her whole life, at a variety of venues, including school performances, talent shows all over New Jersey including the Jersey shore, and malls in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

She agreed to sing the opening theme song, "Battle Cry (Stand Up!)" [1] " along with "Black and White" for Pokémon: Black & White, and "I Believe in You" for Zoroark: Master of Illusions .

Bowman's second single, "King Boy", was released in June 2013 and became the fifth most played song on Sirius XM's 20 on 20 for the year. [10]
The success of "King Boy" led to recording with many producers in 2014, and in the spring she released "Hey Summer", which made a major impact in a number of local markets. [11] In the fall, Bowman co-wrote and recorded "Keep Me Warm", which was picked up by McDonald's for their McCafe White Chocolate Mocha TV commercial [12] that first aired on the 7th game of the World Series, and continued to run on national TV for the remainder of the year and received airplay on 3 radio formats: AC (Adult Contemporary), Hot AC, and Top 40.
