At age 5, she performed at the National Theatre with the Christian Action Faith Ministry. It was a gospel rock show where they sang ‘People need the Lord’.

She also won an opera singing competition and a song-writing competition for a Fanta song she composed with some friends.She was part of a group called S-Touch which also featured Salimi Akill, Richie, Ferguson and Selassie Hanson.

They blended their talents and had thrilling experiences working together after spending most of their lives as solo artistes.

Not long ago, they decided to go their separate ways, which gave people reasons to think that there was something wrong between them. But they both denied it and have since been keeping a nice relationship in the public eye.
