Audrey started playing guitar when she was 8 and she has been playing everyday since. She is unique in a sense that she has only learned guitar through a software/game called Rocksmith. She approaches music without boundaries and plays various kinds of music from metal to country on both guitar and bass.

In the summer of 2014, her video, with sister Kate, playing Slayer's War Ensemble went viral. Soon after the viral video, she was included in MTV's FUTURE of Metal ranking and appeared on Disney XD’s gaming show as a Rocksmith Virtuoso.

After the viral summer, her interest in creating her own music became stronger. Audrey and Kate began composing their own songs.

In 2015, she appeared on a Japanese late night show with her sister and in the summer of 2015, they were picked by Google Japan to advertise for Google Chromecast.

Because everything started with a game/software, it was natural for Audrey to pick up Band-in-a-Box. Usually software is difficult to understand but she was able to figure out how to use Band-in-a-Box quickly. Audrey plays many styles of music and it is really great that Band-in-a-Box has no boundaries.
