She cites Riot grrrl and Crass as some of her early influences.[9] She attended an art college in Oregon, concentrating on paper arts and graphic design.[10] The name "U.S. Girls" originated from a casual conversation she was having with a friend talking about a European band that was coming into town to play. She joked, "Wait 'til they get a look at these U.S. girls!" and the phrase eventually stuck.[11] Early careerRemy began making music in the mid-2000s, playing in bands in Chicago and Portland.
