Her music has been recognized and praised by the very best in tastemaker and mainstream media. TOKiMONSTA has been featured on various large-scale radio programs such as: BBC Radio1 (UK), NPR (USA), BBC World Service (UK), J Wave (JP), Studio Brussels (BE), Radio Nova (FR), KCRW (LA) to name a few.

LA Weekly ranked her as 2010's #1 female DJ in Los Angeles. Additionally, Resident Adviser did a full feature on her for their "Breaking Through," an RA series, which focuses on the next big artist. Not only has she caught ears of many as a different dimension of Los Angeles-based music, TOKiMONSTA is notably the first female to join Flying Lotus' crew/label BRAINFEEDER, which is on the forefront of LA music scene.

TOKiMONSTA tours the world regularly as a live performer. Her performance is engaging as well as intricate-using new technology with pieces of musical and multimedia gear. She participated in the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy in London in 2010. In the summer of 2012, she was apart of the Full Flex Express tour, the first electronic music themed train tour that travelled across Canada with Skrillex, Diplo, Pretty Lights, and Grimes.

Her new album 'Half Shadows' is out now on Ultra Records, flanked by the first single 'The Force' featuring Kool Keith. HALF SHADOWS reflects the multiple faces of TOKiMONSTA. Sonically, she alchemically mingles ethereal electronic moods, while adding R&B flavour and the right amount of hip-hop bounce. The thirteen songs comprising Half Shadows reveal a detailed story.
