Music career
2014–2019: Early career, ''The Purple Heart'', and ''Transgender Street Legend Vol. 1''
Puff first began writing songs in fifth grade. The Left at London project originally started as a band, though after the project fell apart Puff kept the previous group's moniker as her stage name, as she was uncomfortable using her legal name. The name Left at London comes from an experience where Puff misread the sign of a local bar called "The Loft at Tandem". In 2014 and 2015, while still in high school, Puff released three demo EPs, Youth Group Computer, 2 Rowdy 4 Dennys / Give Peace a Break, and Will Write Songs 4 Money, all receiving very limited releases. The EPs were later re-released on Bandcamp on February 5, 2021.Puff released her first widely released extended play, The Purple Heart on June 18, 2018. On November 10 that same year, she also released Transgender Street Legend, Vol. 1. The later EP featured her breakout single "Revolution Lover" which went on to receive a music video and be featured in an episode of Welcome to Night Vale. In that same year, she began to gain significant online attention thanks to the success of her viral Twitter video titled "How to Make a Frank Ocean Song". In 2019, additional parodies of Tyler, the Creator and Mitski further popularized Left at London, including recognition from both artists.
2019–2022: ''Transgender Street Legend Vol. 2'' and ''T.I.A.P.F.Y.H.''
In December 2019, Puff released the Dylan Brady-produced "6 Feet", the first single from Transgender Street Legend, Vol. 2. The same month she released "Santa's Homophobic", a comedic Christmas song featuring Dominique "SonicFox" McLean and SungWon Cho. "Blacknwhite " was released on January 14, 2020, as the lead single to her second studio album You Are Not Alone Enough, an album themed around her mental health.On March 17, 2020, Puff released You Wouldn't Download a Car, a mixtape of her own remixes of various popular songs. On July 20, 2020, she released the two song EP Jenny Durkan, Resign in Disgrace. The EP's title refers to Jenny Durkan, then mayor of Seattle, who Puff holds responsible for condoning police violence and causing "the citizens of a historically gay neighborhood to be gassed on the first day of Pride Month." The songs on the EP were also inspired by the establishment of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone and the murders of Charleena Lyles and Summer Taylor. The first track "Do You See Us?" appears on Transgender Street Legend, Vol. 2. On July 24, she released the four-track covers EP This One's For the Milfs, featuring covers of songs by Janelle Monae, Billie Eilish, Ginuwine, and Kanye West. A day later Tales From Transgender Street, an album of Left at London covers by other artists, was released and promoted through a virtual concert of the same name. Transgender Street Legend, Vol. 2 was released on September 25, 2020.
