In 2010, she put out her first official single, "Kunyenyenza," which was produced by Washington and written by Cindy. She then put out a song called "Bulikyekola," which had vocals by KS Alpha, and another song called "Baliwa," which had vocals by Coco Finger. When she put out "Automatic," a song written by Sizzaman, her solo career took a big turn for the better. After "Automatic" did well, she worked with Sizzaman again to make "Ice Cream," which got a lot of airplay and good reviews. After that, she made "Twesana," which also did well.

In 2014, she put out her first album, Ice Cream, a five-song EP that included the hit singles "Ice Cream" and "Jordan." The EP did well and helped her win several awards for Best Female Artist.
