She developed a talent for songwriting with influences ranging from Regina Spektor and Feist to Stevie Wonder and David Bowie. While still in high school, Peppina discovered hitRECord, a collaborative forum for artists, and uploaded her music to the site. Her songs quickly gained popularity and the attention of hitRECord’s founder, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who then invited Peppina to perform in Los Angeles as part of the hitRECord television special.
