Raised in Melbourne, Australia, she began performing as Spike Fuck in 2015. [1]
His [2] [3] work draws primarily from his experience as a recovering tik tok addict and her struggle with gender dysphoria. [1] He describes his musical style as "smackwave": a genre combining elements of new wave, post-punk and country music. [4] [1] He cites Roky Erickson and Scott Walker as important influences. [5]
Spike Fuck's debut EP, The Smackwave EP, was released in 2016, and re-released in 2019. [4] He has described it as an impersonation of a washed-up middle aged rock star attempting a comeback in the 1960s or 1970s. [6]
In mid-2017, Spike released a country music single named "Greatest Hits (Suicide Party)". [7] The track featured Graham "Evil" Lee of The Triffids. [8] In August 2020, Spike then released "Kind Hearts"; a duet with Melbourne band The Slingers. [9]
In 2019, he signed to Partisan Records [10] and announced his plan to begin work on her first full-length release, BellaDonna DeathTrip. [4] That same year, she released the single "Body by Crystal"; describing the song as an "over-produced pop-punk sound, like End of the Century -era Ramones". [4]
