Before her foray into music, Abedini starred in Surviving Paradise, an independent Iranian film at the age of 9 playing Sara, alongside her older brother and Academy Award Nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo. She rose to prominence after becoming Kid Cudi's tour DJ in 2013, which shortly after led her to meet Usher, who became a mentor.[2] She has released music through Fool's Gold Records as a solo artist as well as with collective musical group Athletixx.[3] Abedini, who identifies as a Lesbian, is known for her outspokenness and advocacy related to the LGBTQ+ community and women's rights.

She frequently speaks out for equity in the music industry[13] and teaches a charity based course on the basics of how to DJ called PWR with KITTENS.[11] PWR with KITTENS[14] is exclusively for women and gender expansive people because she feels that they face discrimination and unique challenges in the music industry, particularly in the DJ community.
