In March 2018, she released her first album, I Need to Start a Garden, on Mama Bird Recording Co. The album received positive reviews, including a 7.3 rating from Pitchfork,[6] while NPR Music wrote that the album "captivates"[7] and Uproxx called it "an utterly brilliant folk debut".[8] In January 2018, she was named an "Artist to Watch" by Stereogum.[9] In August of that same year, Heynderickx performed an NPR tiny desk concert featuring songs from I Need to Start a Garden.[10]

In fall 2023 she was an opening act for Tim Baker for several shows in his Canadian tour.[11] She released her second studio album, Seed of a Seed, on November 1, 2024. The album received generally positive reviews from the likes of Pitchfork, Paste, and DIY, among others. [12][13][14][15]

In November 2025, Heynderickx and Max Garcia Conover released a collaborative LP, What of Our Nature, through Fat Possum Records.[16]
