Bosaina has performed with a number of Cairo-based electronic bands, including Wetrobots, ZULI and Quit Together, through her involvement with the groundbreaking Kairo Is Koming collective. Her shows with the collective are often noted for their electric energy, The Guardian stating that her "post-punk party girl attitude, which blends magically with head-banging blonde locks, high-kicks, and catsuits to create a dizzying spell".
She is also an independent music producer and solo performer, releasing her first EP of ambient and jazz-influenced music entitled 'NY, Apr–Jul 2013' in 2013. Becoming a producer was the next logical step in her career, and on a layover back from a SXSW performance in Austin, Texas she decided to stay in New York and enroll at production school Dubspot to develop her debut EP New York, April–July 2013.
Her work has often been controversial in her native Egypt, amidst all the unrest following the country's revolution, where she says she's "been thrown off stage for not wearing enough clothes", and lending her voice and support to the LGBT community.
She has toured extensively, including gigs around Egypt, Lebanon, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Japan and in the United States at the SXSW Festival.
