DJ MF Sunflower grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana; where she grew up in a household full of music. In fact, her grandfather was a musician at the Madame CJ Walker building in Indianapolis. DJ Sunflower's flare for all things musical started for her at an early age as she began by playing the flute in the first grade and continued throughout high school. As a child, she would watch music videos, and she wanted to be like Spinderella, as she thought she was the coolest and wanted to do what she did. She would make mini mixes on cassettes, yes she said it, cassettes! She has continued making mixtapes to this day. Sunflower moved to Houston, Texas as a young adult where she was very heavily influenced by the culture allowing her to raise the bar
