Chippy's musical style is heavily influenced by Bollywood music, which she grew up listening to.[2]

Her debut LP Chippy Nonstop x dj genderfluid was to be released on April 23, 2021 through the label Wet Trax Records.[5]

Activism[]

In 2016 Nonstop founded Intersessions,[6] a DJ workshop for femme, non-binary, and queer people.[7]

“I want these girls to create a community among themselves. There are so many guy DJ crews. Girls need to create their own crews and work together,” Chippy told Now! Magazine’s Kevin Ritchie in April 2016.[7]

After the initial workshop, she organized further Intersessions events in Los Angeles, London, and Montreal.[7]

Personal life[]

In February 2015 she was deported from the United States[8] after returning to the country via an 11 hour flight from Japan.[9] At the time her visa had been expired for several months.[10]

Officials from the Department of Homeland Security detained her for several hours at Los Angeles airport.[10]

“(Homeland Security staff) said I had two minutes to talk to someone and decide where to go—they said either way I'd have to pay for it, so choose wisely. The only two options they gave me were a $300 flight to Vancouver and a $3,000 flight to Japan, so I was like, “Well, I guess I'm going to Vancouver,” Nonstop told Drew Millard for Vice Magazine in February 2015.[10]
