Sky Deep was born in New Jersey and grew up in Los Angeles, California. Her early engagement with the creative arts included theatrical and music projects during her youth. By 2001, she had moved to the New York Tri-State area, where she continued to develop her career in performance and songwriting. In August 2014, she relocated to Berlin, Germany, a move that marked a shift in her focus toward electronic music production and international live performance.

Sky Deep’s career began as a songwriter and performer before she transitioned into electronic music production and DJing. After working in Los Angeles and New York City, she relocated to Berlin in 2014. Since then, her work has become increasingly centered on electronic music, live performance, and collaborative projects. In 2012, she founded the independent label Reveller Records, which serves as a platform for her own releases and curated compilation projects. Through this initiative, she has supported new talent within the international electronic music scene. Her recorded output includes various EPs and albums from the mid-to-late 2010s, as well as contributions to soundtracks and electronic music networks. Sky Deep has also been active as a live performer and touring musician. From 2019 to 2020, she served as a core touring musician and MIDI music director for the artist Peaches during the Only One Peach tour, contributing to live electronic performance and show programming. Alongside her creative work, she is active in music education. Since 2017, she has been an educator at BIMM University, teaching music-related subjects. From 2016 to 2017, Sky Deep founded and curated Reclaim the Beats, a Berlin festival focused on artist-driven programming. The festival was established as a platform to center BIPOC and LGBTQ+ perspectives within Berlin's electronic music and arts scene. She is also a member of the international collective female:pressure. In 2016, she represented the collective at the CTM Festival in a presentation regarding the Rojava Revolution compilation alongside İpek İpekçioğlu. Her recent work includes composing for screen-based projects, notably for the German television series Loving Her (2022–2023).

Sky Deep has performed extensively as a DJ and electronic music producer at festivals and club events, both in Europe and internationally. In 2018, she performed at Tresor Berlin as part of an experimental ensemble featuring Lady Starlight and Lyra Pramuk. She has curated and performed at her own festival, Reclaim the Beats, which highlights experimental and queer electronic music in Berlin. The festival was structured to function as both a performance platform and an educational space, emphasizing the historical roots of house and techno alongside contemporary live sets. Her live sets are often noted for their use of multimedia, where music is paired with visual projections and video to create an integrated experience. She has shared stages with artists such as Peaches and Ina D., often participating in events that emphasize the work of producers from underrepresented communities.

Throughout her career, Sky Deep has engaged in various collaborative projects across music and film. Her work with Peaches included serving as a touring musician and MIDI music director, where she assisted with stage shows and live performance programming. In the studio, she has collaborated on remix projects with other electronic producers, including providing a remix for the duo Hyenaz and collaborating with Electrosexual on the single "Yes I Did". Through Reveller Records, she managed the music contributions for the soundtrack of When We Are Together, Then We Can Be Everywhere (2016). The release included works by The Knife and Karin Dreijer. Additionally, her label handled the HYENAZ edit of the track "Gegen" by Paula Temple. She has also extended her collaborative reach into audiovisual production, working frequently with director Marit Östberg on projects such as Enactone and When We Are Together, Then We Can Be Everywhere, where she handled post-production audio.

In addition to her work in the music industry, Sky Deep has been active in film since the late 2000s. Her early work in the US included technical positions in the sound department, including as a boom operator for feature films and short films. After moving to Berlin, the artist expanded her repertoire to include directing, screenwriting, and post-production. With her debut feature film Enactone (2016), she established herself as a filmmaker and composer. Her more recent work includes contributions as a sound designer and voice actor, particularly for interdisciplinary science fiction projects such as Shu Lea Cheang's UKI, which received international recognition at institutions such as MoMA. Sky Deep's directorial debut, the feature film Enactone (2016), was awarded Best Feature Film at the Berlin Porn Film Festival. In 2017, the artist was also honored with the PorYes Award and received the "Hottest Newcomer" award at the Toronto International Porn Film Festival. The film was screened worldwide at numerous festivals, including BFI Flare in London, Queer Lisboa, the Women Make Waves Film Festival in Taiwan, and the Asterisco Festival in Buenos Aires. Further screenings took place at the Glitch Film Festival in Glasgow, the Berlin Art Film Festival, and the Perv Queerotic Film Festival in Sydney, among others.
