She began sharing recordings of her singing on the social media platforms Tumblr and Keek, gaining an online following through these and other accounts. She began her professional music career after her manager, Gerald Tennison, discovered a video of her singing on Instagram. She later moved to Los Angeles to pursue music.

On September 29, 2016, she released "Pretty Girl" as her first single after signing with 300 Entertainment. The song later peaked at number 50 on US pop radio charts and reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart. Lindemann stated that the song was intended to address perceptions about appearance and emphasize personal qualities beyond looks. The music video for "Pretty Girl" premiered through People on March 9, 2017.

On April 24, 2019, Lindemann released the single "Friends Go", which was later re-released featuring Travis Barker. In 2020, she released the singles "Knife Under My Pillow", "Gaslight!", "Scissorhands", and "Loner". These songs, along with additional tracks, were included on her debut EP "Paranoia", released on January 22, 2021. The EP received attention from Alternative Press, which noted her blending of genres and incorporation of rock and metal influences, as well as her role in maintaining elements of emo music. Lindemann has cited Avril Lavigne as an influence on the EP, particularly on the song "Knife Under My Pillow".
Her song "Crash and Burn" was selected as Radio.com's Alternative Pick of the Week from March 20 to March 27, 2021, and became her first entry on the Mediabase radio chart, peaking at number 33. She also hosts a podcast titled "swixxzaudio", named after her record label founded in 2020. The podcast, which began on April 20, 2020, includes discussions about her music and the production of "Paranoia".
On April 15, 2022, Lindemann announced the second single from her debut album "Suckerpunch", titled "How Could You Do This to Me", featuring Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens.
