In October of 2021 I joined a long time friend's EDM project on keys/live programming called Machine 13, and was introduced to playing music as a form of expression. In February of 2022 I began recording electronic music with harsh vocals and EDM influence in my bedroom to express my experience as a transgender woman. Juniper Willow is meant to be an outlet for my best self to exist on stage, and for my anger to be expressed healthily through art. It always has been and currently remains a solo act, and nearly the entirety of each live set is performed off stage and instead within the audience space whenever possible. Throughout 2022 I purchased a Korg Minilogue XD, released my first single Chemical, played my first shows, and began recording my first EP, "(Self Titled)". "(Self Titled)" by Juniper Willow released March 17th, 2023. In April of 2023 I left Machine 13. In August of 2023 I joined as synth player in a punk band called Socialist Anxiety. In October of 2023 I stopped booking and playing live shows as Juniper Willow to focus on recording new material, though I still continue to play with Socialist Anxiety.
