Ever since then, the Music Crossroads Academy alumna has grown as a vocalist, mbira player and percussionist who, from 2021, has been a part of Jah Prayzah's 3G Band.

A major highlight was performing at the 2022 Jacaranda Music Festival, in Harare, where she caught the eyes of many.

In April 2024 She performed at MASA Festival in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.
