Shippen was born and raised in Sydney, New South Wales to an English[citation needed] father and Filipino mother. She started drama and dance lessons from the age of 4, keyboard at 8, private singing at 9 and self-taught guitar at 13. She sang in the St Mary's Cathedral Choir throughout high school, as well as the Monte Singers (small auditioned group) and College Choir at Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College.
At the age of 15, Shippen did a songwriting course with Erana Clark (former Australian Idol & XFactor vocal coach), where she co-wrote her first EP 'Not Guilty'. She returned to record a 10 track album 'Headache', at the age of 18, with music and lyrics written herself. Her debut single 'Electrifying' was released on iTunes and an official music video was released on YouTube. The debut single made the semi-finalist list of Unsigned Only (2015, 2016) and the International Songwriting Competition (2016). She also toured in a Spice Girls Tribute Band called 'Viva Spice Girls' in 2014, where she played the role of Posh Spice.
Shippen obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Contemporary Music) from Macquarie University, a Certificate III in Early Childhood & Care and a Master of Teaching (Secondary) Music at University of New South Wales. During this time, she worked as a children's party entertainer for Superstar Parties Australia - as princesses, superheroes and celebrities.
In 2020, Shippen auditioned for The Voice Australia Season 9 and made it through to the top 120 (Blind Auditions), however, did not turn a chair.
