She also appeared on stage as a backing vocalist for various bands, as well as writing and producing songs with artists such as Jah Mason & Chrisinti.〔('' Nude Riddim : REGGAE VIBES RECORDS, 2002'' )〕〔(''Comfort My People : VP Records 2002 )''〕 Her first major success was with the single "Can You Do the Work" with Sean Paul in 2001.
