Early life

Ćmiel was born in Singapore where she attended school.[2][4] She first started playing music at the age of 6 on her parents Yamaha piano and learned classically although eventually dropped taking lessons, and wanted to explore something more challenging which led her to guitar and drums.[5] She initially started playing waltz pieces however soon moved onto songs from the soundtracks of Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts.[6] She later went onto sing in a jazz band under the name Riot Diet, covering songs from Ella Fitzgerald and the Pixies.[2] After graduating from high school, she applied to Central Saint Martins to study fashion communication and womenswear.[2]

Growing up, feelings of loneliness and depression were present due in part to her nomadic upbringing.[4] She found solace on the internet, which would influence her later works.[7]

I didn’t ask for much, I don’t need to be happy. I just wanted to be content."[7] The album received a positive critical reception with Jude Noel of Tiny Mix Tapes giving the album 4/5 and saying that "Melancholia aside, it’s serotonin ii’s impeccable sound design that has kept me coming back".[12]
