Career

She got her start in the music industry in 2007 with a cold call to Cuban fusion king X-Alfonso. Her work with X-Alfonso led to her discovery a few years later by Gilles Peterson.[3]

Gilles Peterson included her on the first Havana Cultura album. She has also released a CD under her name.[4]

Billboard named her one of their 10 "up-and-coming" reggaeton artists in an August 2014 article.[5]

Billboard magazine describes her music in 2017: "Her sound, a sonic fusion of what is considered American hip-hop and Jamaican reggae", noting it has taken the singer years to perfect her style. [1]
