After graduating from high school, she moved to New York City and studied acting at New York University. She also learned to play the guitar and sent a demo tape to the College Music Journal and Grand Royal, a record label headed by the Beastie Boys. Her debut album, Strictly Platinum, gained her some notoriety for being one of very few white rappers, as well as for her openness regarding her Jewish heritage and gender-related issues.
Princess Superstar has collaborated with Kool Keith, Jon Spencer, MC Paul Barman, the High and Mighty, The Prodigy, Moby, Disco D and others. Some of the producers that worked with her include Prince Paul, Curtis Curtis, Beth Orton, Arthur Baker, Jacques Lu Cont, Junior Sanchez, Todd Terry, and DJ Mighty Mi from the High and Mighty.
Her biggest single so far has been "Bad Babysitter," which was chart position #11 in the UK. In 2007, a mash-up was created using Princess Superstar's "Perfect" and "Exceeder" by DJ Mason. The resulting track was called "Perfect Exceeder." It has become another one of Princess Superstar's top songs.

Princess Superstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
can you touch it could you love it don't you covet
can you fuck it and what of it
oh the happy it's the happy we're the happy oh so happy
it's the happy i'm so happy
the happy has come here..
what a wonder, wonder, wonder
if you know then let's go
get real high but not if you go low
I just found it I wanna let you know
its the place where I'm gonna take you, go
it's the happy oh the happy we're the happy
oh so happy
it's the happy get the happy
i'm so happy
someone smack me
it's alright it's ok
here we are another day
and if you are wondering why you are here
-well so am I
I got all the answers that's why I have dancers
If you want to follow me
Be good, be good to what you see
Let's get happy
Let's get happy
let's get together. get it together.
Everybody work, work it out
The lyrics to Princess Superstar's song The Happy seem to revolve around the idea of finding happiness and experiencing it in all its forms. The song poses a string of questions about happiness asking if one can feel it, taste it, see it, touch it, love it or even boldy suggests if one can fuck it. The chorus exclaims the idea of being happy and how the 'happy' has arrived, with the singer expressing their contentment.
The second verse of the song starts with the phrase 'don't you wonder', a question which could be interpreted in multiple ways - it could either question if the listener is also feeling the same sense of happiness or could be a provocation to the listener to question their every thought and action, and to search for their own happiness. The lyrics urge the listener to get high and feel the happiness, with a warning to avoid feeling low. The singer claims that they've found the 'happy' and want to take the listener to where they've found it. The song hence focuses on the idea of happiness and finding joy in every moment.
The chorus repeats the idea of the 'happy', with the singer exclaiming how happy they are and asking for someone to smack them. The bridge of the song explains how everything is alright and okay, and how both the singer and the listener are here in the moment for a reason. The lyrics urge the listener to be good to themselves and follow the singer if they want to find happiness. The song ends with an exclamation to 'work it out' and get together to feel happy.
