    their own biography

    the whole biography
    FORMERLY KNOWN AS LETHAL TRIP, SHE BUILT HER NAME BY CURATING QPOC AND LGBTQ+ CENTERED RAVES THAT PUSHED BEYOND NIGHTLIFE INTO SITES OF RESISTANCE AND LIBERATION. HER UNCOMPROMISING DJ SETS;EQUAL PARTS CONFRONTATIONAL AND SEDUCTIVE,HAVE PLACED HER ALONGSIDE LSDXOXO, JULIANA HUXTABLE, AND JIMMY EDGAR, WITH APPEARANCES STRETCHING FROM MULTIPLE CITIES LIKE BERLIN, MONTREAL & OF COURSE NYC. AS A PROUD LATINA RASIED IN NEW JERSEY, GUILLOTINE GREW UP IN A HOUSEHOLD WHERE MUSIC WAS SACRED. IT WAS A DAILY ACT OF EXPRESSION, SURVIVAL AND JOY. THAT EARLY CONNECTION STILL FUELS HER WORK, BRIDGING PERSONAL HISTORY WITH COLLECTIVE LIBERATION. DURING THE PANDEMIC SHE JOINED THE ANONYMOUS COLLECTIVE SHLVES, STEPPING INTO THE ROLE OF SINGER-SONGWRITER WHILE CO-SCORING PETER DO’S SS23 SHOW, A TURN THAT MARKED HER EVOLUTION INTO COMPOSITION AND FASHION-WORLD COLLABORATION. IN 2025, GUILLOTINE’S TRAJECTORY INTERSECTED WITH ANNE IMHOF’S DOOM, CEMENTING HER AS A PRESENCE IN EXPERIMENTAL ART AND PERFORMANCE. HER DEBUT EP CHANNELS THAT HISTORY INTO SOMETHING STARKLY INTIMATE: MUSIC POISED BETWEEN CONTROL AND COLLAPSE, HAUNTED BY THEMES OF DEATH, IDENTITY, AND MENTAL FRACTURE. DRAWING FROM FILM, PERFORMANCE, AND MEMORY, SHE CONSTRUCTS A SONIC WORLD THAT FEELS BOTH VULNERABLE AND EXACTING;A MIRROR TO THE INTERIOR CHAOS BEHIND THE MYSTERY.
