Growing up on a hippy farm in Upstate New York, Pullman credits those roots to crafting songs and all things creative. After joining the East Village band, Apocalypstik,[6] she worked her performing on the stages of The Limelight, CBGB, and Arlene's Grocery. In 2005, Apocalypstik released its album, Back on the Sauce,[7] which garnered attention from Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna of Blackheart Records. The band played on the albums New York City Rock and Roll,[8] Skateboard Punk Hits,[9] and Tribute to Rancid.[10] Kara DioGuardi (American Idol) mentored Pullman during that time.

In 2012, Pullman launched dream-pop duo Some Go Haunting,[11] with the multi-instrumentalist, Jason Rivera. They released their debut self-titled EP in 2011. The single, "Me & You",[12] later won the BeIN Sports beIn The Beat Competition[13] in 2014. A live recording session of the single at Hit Factory Criteria Studio, Miami, was broadcast during the El Clasico 2014 soccer match (Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona).

Later, Some Go Haunting released the album Wandering Souls.[14] The single "Kids Of Summer" was recorded in collaboration with Wu-tang Clan affiliate, the hip-hop duo Black Knights in 2016.

Pullman's vocals have compared to Karen O, Lana Del Rey, and Stevie Nicks. Her passion and love for various forms of art fueled her first unofficial release under the moniker AO.[15] She released a mixtape called "Pop Halleluyah."[16] Then came "Lonely Hunter", which Clash[17] wrote of the track, "Los Angeles pop riser AO is continually looking towards the future. Each new release is imbued with incredible ambition, her taut melodies aligned to a groundbreaking touch that establishes a vivid pop identity." The singles "Fall On Me",[18] featuring Mondo Cozmo and "Disappear",[19] established her in the world of film and television songwriting.
