DJ Pnutz moved with her family to the United States at the age of 4, beginning dance lessons and then, at 10, studying percussion. Later expanding beyond the realm of Art of Noise and Madonna to 1970s and '80s punk and garage, she got her first set of turntables as a high school graduation present.

Driven by 1990s electronic music, hip-hop, and trip-hop, she records with turntables, drums, Roland synthesizers and sequencers, and Ableton. An album called Rackmount was released in 2012.

The Good Wife's Guide to Beatmaking was released in 2016.
