She became more well-known after one of her own songs, Aku Suka Dia, became popular. It gathered much more attention among young listeners and recording studios as well. She was then given the opportunity to be a recording artist under the auspices of MVM Production.^[3] After she was signed as an artist, the music video studio version of her single was uploaded in YouTube and had currently reached more than 5 million views.

2012: Second Single: 150 Juta and the Controversy

On 12 December 2012, she came back with her second single entitled 150 Juta which was originally sung by another local singer, Fynn Jamal, and she remade the song as her new single.

Comparisons have been made between this song and one from a famous Malaysia Cartoon series Soundtrack, Keluang Man. It is said both songs have similar instrumentation.
