Born in Toronto and raised in the city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, Cecil grew up interested in competitive figure skating, but a broken ankle derailed her plans. After attending a music festival when she was 19, she began dedicating time to DJing and producing music. Inspired by the likes of Nero, Baauer, Zeds Dead, and other EDM and bass music producers, she released her debut EP as Whipped Cream, Law of Attraction, in 2015. A closing set at the Shambhala festival that year became a turning point in Cecil's career, and her gig schedule rapidly increased. In 2017, following an EP with Hekler titled Mirrors, Whipped Cream's Persistence EP, featuring the defiant track "Ignorant," was released by Skrillex's Nest imprint. The following year brought singles on Dim Mak ("Gray," with KTRL), Deadbeats ("Blood"), Big Beat ("Bad for Me," "Luv"), and others. In 2019, after Cecil relocated to Los Angeles, "You Wanted It" and "Time" both appeared on Mad Decent, and Whipped Cream's remix of Zhu's "Desert Woman" was also released.
Cecil signed to Atlantic imprint Big Beat Records in November 2019. Her EP Who Is Whipped Cream? appeared the following year, with guests including Lil Xan and Finn Askew. She also contributed the song "So Thick" (with Baby Goth) to the soundtrack of the superhero film Birds of Prey. "Light of Mine," a collaboration with Jimorrow, appeared in 2021. Whipped Cream teamed up with Big Freedia, UNiiQU3, and Moore Kismet on the 2022 track "Hold Up." ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
