Career Goldfinch began producing music as Caution & Crisis in 2010 with her cousin James Shakeshaft. The duo primarily made drum and bass, with influences from DnB producers Danny Byrd and Netsky.

Artistry Goldfinch describes her "colour bass" style of music as a "categorisation of bass music that focuses on melody, emotion and vibrancy alongside the weight and aggression often associated with dubstep." According to Goldfinch, the subgenre aims to bridge the gap between "dark" and "light" in the dubstep scene, drawing on the best elements of both sides.
