Career

Laing was educated at the

rave music due to the influence of her parents, and worked as a DJ for the first time in an Arbroath venue when aged 18. While developing her musical career, including a DJ residency in San Antonio, she worked as a dental nurse for 10 years until quitting the profession following a well received performance at Creamfields in 2022.[1][9]

Laing has performed sets at several events including TRNSMT, Creamfields, the Tidy Weekender, and as a supporting act for Idris Elba in Ibiza. In 2022 she performed at the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend after coming to the attention of Radio 1 DJs including Pete Tong and Danny Howard, and she went on to be the headline act on the dance stage at the 2023 event.[1][7][10][11]

In 2019 she remixed the

UK Singles Chart. It peaked at number 7, and was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[12][13] Also in 2023, Laing was featured on the Tidy Trax album TDV25 - The Remixes, released to commemorate the 25 year anniversary of the death of hard house pioneer Tony De Vit.[14]

Laing has launched her own record label, called Doof, it is named after what she calls the type of music she plays, based upon the sound of the "doof doof" beat.[3]
