Costanza was born on August 23, 1995, in New Jersey into an Italian American family. She has a younger brother named Michael. Growing up, it was one of her dreams to become a musician. She met current band members Dan Gow and Will Ferri through a mutual friend.[3]
She attended The Village School in Waldwick, New Jersey during her Elementary and Middle School years.[citation needed]
She attended Immaculate Heart Academy in Washington Township, Bergen County, New Jersey.[4] She studied at Fordham University between 2013 and 2014.[citation needed]
Costanza was introduced to Dan Gow and Will Ferri through a mutual friend in 2011, joining their band. Against The Current soon started to write original songs, whose lyrics were mostly written by Costanza. They also started to post covers of popular songs on YouTube. Against The Current released their first single "Thinking" in 2012. Meanwhile, Costanza made a self-titled YouTube channel and started posting beauty videos. During the summer of 2013, Against the Current went on tour with Alex Goot.[citation needed]
Against the Current released their first EP, Infinity in 2014. On June 6, Costanza made an appearance on Access Hollywood. In February 2015, Against The Current released their second EP, Gravity. At the end of April 2015, Against The Current had signed a record deal with Fueled by Ramen.[5] At the end of August, they embarked on their first world tour, the "Gravity World Tour". Against The Current released their debut album In Our Bones on May 20, 2016.[6] In May, following the release of their debut album, Costanza performed live with Alex Goot on his tour on several occasions. While they were in the UK, Against The Current was asked to play a last minute set at the Download Festival.[7] Kerrang!, a UK-based magazine devoted to rock music, says that the band are "writing their future", and described Costanza as "Their Fearless Frontwoman".[8] At the end of June, Rock Sound announced that Costanza would receive her own column in their monthly magazine to talk about Against The Current's debut album, writing her own lyrics for the band, touring, and giving advice on how aspiring bands can be successful.[9]
Against the Current recorded the song "Legends Never Die" for the video game League of Legends, as a tie-in for the 2017 League of Legends World Championship. Against the Current released their second studio album, Past Lives in 2018. Against The Current returned to Reading and Leeds Festival [10] in August after which the band made their first appearances at Lollapalooza 2019 [11] and Pentaport Rock Festival . Costanza collaborated with Cailin Russo on the song "Phoenix" for the 2019 League of Legends World Championship, which she then performed at the finals in Paris, France[12] and again on New Year's Eve at Bilibili New Years Eve Concert in Beijing, China.[13] Costanza performed the songs "Each Goal" and "Hero too" as the character Kyoka Jiro in the anime series My Hero Academia.[14]
From July 2020 to May 2021, Costanza was the host of the show Guest House on streaming media channel VENN.[15] At the end of 2020, Costanza teamed up with the winners of the 2019 League of Legends World Championships FunPlus Phoenix to release "Phoenix" as their 2021 anthem (This song being different to the 2019 song used for the 2019 League of Legends World Championships with the same name).
On January 10, 2022, Against the Current collaborated with League of Legends European Championship for a song called "Wildfire", with casters Vedius and Drakos as guest vocals, which is a part of a promotion for the 2022 Spring Season of its said League of Legends esports regional league run.[16]
