In 1987, Berenyi studied English literature at the North London Polytechnic, where she met drummer Chris Acland and singer Meriel Barham.
Quotations: "I miss the excitement and energy of playing live and the camaraderie of touring—being with the band and crew in a foreign country is like going on holiday with your mates but even more fun because it’s free.".
She is a member of the alternative rock band Lush. When Barham left, "the remaining members of Lush placed ads in local papers looking for Barham"s replacement, but they couldn"t find the singer they wanted, and Berenyi took over the vocals". She and Acland also collaborated with members of Cocteau Twins and Moose, releasing one song in 1991 under the name Lillies.
