Her musical roots trace back to school choirs at Seeta Boarding Primary and Naalya Secondary School, laying the foundation for her dynamic career. She first captured national attention in 2007 with the all-girl group Dream Gals, whose chart-toppers "Weekend" and "Wandekangawo" became nationwide anthems. Departing for solo ventures in 2009, she quickly captivated audiences with tracks like "Kiruma" and "Awo," solidifying her presence in the industry.
