Music
Growing up on a hippy farm in Upstate New York, Pullman credits those roots to crafting songs and all things creative. [1] Pullman pursued her musical interests in New York City. After joining the East Village band, Apocalypstik, she worked her performing muscle on the stages of The Limelight, CBGB, and Arlene's Grocery.

The single Me & You later won the "BeIn Sports" "beIn The Beat" Competition in 2014. A live recording session of the single at Hit Factory Criteria Studio, Miami, was broadcast during the El Clasico 2014 soccer match (Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona).
Later, Some Go Haunting released the album Wandering Souls. The single "Kids Of Summer" was recorded in collaboration with Wu-tang Clan affiliate hip-hop duo Black Knights in 2016.
