Palmer grew up in the Nuremberg area, [1] and began her musical career in Zurich, [2] working in small bars and clubs. Initially focused as a DJ playing more melodic techno and deep house, Palmer moved into playing higher tempo 150 BPM in response to the audience reaction. [1] [3]

[7] In 2025, Palmer performed at events including the Sonus Festival and the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, and followed up with a live techno set transmitted from the DJ Mag headquarters. [8]
Palmer has received accolades in the music press, including being called one of the "most exciting names in techno" by Mixmag magazine, and a "star" by DJ Mag . [2] [8] In 2023 music website EDM.com named Palmer as one of the best "producers of the year". [9]
