Plapinger had played saxophone in a middle-school band and learned to play drums in college. During her sophomore year, she started the record label, Neon Gold, with Derek Davies. The label specialized in releasing limited-run, seven-inch singles and helped launch the careers of Passion Pit, Ellie Goulding, and Marina and the Diamonds.[2] Since then, Neon Gold Records has partnered with Atlantic Records.[3] Plapinger has worked with fashion brands including Stella McCartney, Gucci, and Marc Jacobs.[4]

In January 2017 Plapinger released the single "Tightrope" using the name LPX.[5] In April of the same year, the second single "Tremble" appeared,[6] followed by the single "Slide", the following November. In January 2018, her debut EP as a solo artist, called “Bolt in the Blue”, was released.
