She has yet to release an album, but she has an impressive catalogue of singles, all featuring star-studded artists. 

In July 2020, she launched her online podcast called "SHE Social Podcast", which promotes women in the arts industry from fashion to music and art. She has a list of nominations and awards won. In 2013, she won the award for Best Radio Show at the South African Hip Hop Awards. She won the award for Best Traffic Presenter at the 2017 Liberty Radio Awards.
