At a young age, Banks became interested in musical theater, dancing, acting, and singing. At age 16, she starred in a production of the comedy-noir musical City of Angels, where she was found by an agent who sent her to auditions for TBS, Nickelodeon, and Law & Order, all without success.

At this point Banks decided to end her pursuit of an acting career, citing the stiff competition and overall sense of nonfulfillment. Because of this lack of fulfillment, she began writing rap and R&B songs as a creative outlet. She never finished high school, instead choosing to follow her dream of becoming a recording artist.

Under the moniker Miss Bank$, she released her debut recording, “Gimme a Chance”, online on November 9, 2008. The recording was accompanied by the self-produced track “Seventeen”, which sampled the Ladytron song of the same name.

Banks sent both tracks to American DJ Diplo. Later that year, she signed a development deal with record label XL Recordings and began working with producer Richard Russell in London, leaving the label later that year due to conflicting ideas.

Banks’ song “212” has been listed as one of the best songs of 2011 and one of the defining songs of the decade by music publications, including Rolling Stone and Billboard. She has subsequently released two mixtapes (Fantasea in 2012, and Slay-Z in 2016), one studio album (Broke with Expensive Taste in 2014), and two extended plays (1991 in 2012 and Icy Colors Change in 2018). In December 2017, Banks had her film debut in the musical drama Love Beats Rhymes, portraying the lead character. Banks’ works have garnered acclaim from critics, drawing on various sounds including house, rap, pop, electronic music, and avant-garde.

Following her father’s death, Banks says that her mother “became really abusive—physically and verbally. She disclosed how she would hit her and her sisters with baseball bats, bang our heads up against walls, and she would always tell her she was ugly. “I remember once she threw out all the food in the fridge, just so we wouldn’t have anything to eat.” Due to escalating violence, Banks moved out of her mother’s home at age 14 to live with her older sister.
