Before becoming famous, she ran a cleaning business between 2016 and 2018 and learned to play guitar on her own by watching instructional videos online. She later began posting singing performances and cover videos, gradually attracting attention for her distinctive voice and songwriting ability.
Her career took a major step forward when she was discovered by representatives of the Atlanta-based music company Love Renaissance (LVRN).

In 2019, Summer released her debut studio album "Over It," which became a commercial and critical success.

She followed this success with the EP "Life on Earth" in 2020 and the chart-topping album "Still Over It" in 2021. The album featured songs including "Ex for a Reason," "No Love," and "Unloyal." In 2025, she released her third studio album, "Finally Over It."
