Growing up, Twinn was interested in the police, and thought of becoming a forensic scientist.

In 2018, one of her TikTok videos, "Hit or Miss", in which she lip-synched to a snippet of iLoveFriday's "Mia Khalifa", a song about the retired pornographic actress of the same name that Cheyanne Hays had uploaded to the platform, went viral, receiving over 360,000 likes as of February 2019;{{Cite web |date=2019-02-12 |title=How TikTok Gets Rich While Paying Artists Pennies |url=https://pitchfork.com/features/article/the-great-music-meme-scam-how-tiktok-gets-rich-while-paying-artists-pennies/ |access-date=2023-10-10 |website=Pitchfork |language=en |archive-date=2019-05-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190526211142/https://pitchfork.com/features/article/the-great-music-meme-scam-how-tiktok-gets-rich-while-paying-artists-pennies/ |url-status=live }} the "Hit or Miss" trend was listed at No. 2 on BuzzFeed's "The Biggest TikTok Memes And Trends Of 2018" list in December 2018.{{cite web |last=Strapagiel |first=Lauren |date=December 21, 2018 |title=29 of the Best TikTok Memes and Trends of 2018 |url=https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/laurenstrapagiel/biggest-tiktok-2018-trends-memes |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190920112703/https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/laurenstrapagiel/biggest-tiktok-2018-trends-memes |archive-date=September 20, 2019 |access-date=September 29, 2019 |website=BuzzFeed News}} She told The Forty Five in April 2021 that the success of the video, when she was fifteen, caused her to suffer from "a lot of sexual harassment online from men", and that the experience caused her to become "more cautious and aware of the types of people that there are online".

The success of her TikTok account prompted her to leave school at sixteen to pursue music. Her first works were cover versions uploaded to YouTube, which prompted a producer to get in touch; her first single, "On My Mind", was self-released, and caught the attention of Universal Music Group. In October 2020, she released a cover of Tame Impala's "Let It Happen", and then the following month she released "You Shouldn't Have Fucked With Me", a contemptuous breakup song.{{Cite web |title=Georgia Twinn pairs teen angst with unapologetic pop bombast on "You Shouldn't Have F****d With Me" {{!}} Best Fit |url=https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/new-music/discovery/georgia-twinn-you-shouldnt-have-fckd-with-me |access-date=2023-10-13 |website=The Line of Best Fit |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-10-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231019132845/https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/new-music/discovery/georgia-twinn-you-shouldnt-have-fckd-with-me |url-status=live }} In December 2020, she released "I Don't Mind",{{Cite web |title=Georgia Twinn shares new track 'I Don't Mind' Inbox • WithGuitars |url=https://www.withguitars.com/278725-2/ |access-date=2023-10-13 |language=en-GB}} which she wrote about her anxiety and released alongside a lyric video.
