Rionos was born into a musical family. Her mother was a classical marimba player and her father was a jazz drummer. She grew up learning piano and violin. As a high school student, she gave up trying to become a classical player and often spent time at home because of her physical condition. She was inspired by movies, anime and game music, and she began to think about becoming a composer who could work at home.[1]

She entered Osaka University of Arts in 2009 as a correspondence student. Her condition improved, so she attended computer music school Dee in Osaka in the autumn of 2009. In 2011, she was no longer a correspondence student at Osaka University of Arts from third year.[1]

In 2016, Lantis's producer Junnosuke Sato listened to her songs for Yufu and contacted her.[4] She offered a demo of the theme song of Children of the Whales anime. She made her major debut from Lantis in 2017 in the anime's ending theme "Hashitairo".[5] In the Märchen Mädchen anime of the following year, she composed background music in addition to ending theme.[6]
