She caught the attention of some big names in the music and entertainment business, opening shows for Michael McDonald (who also provided vocals on her 2019 EP Au Naturel), Kenny Loggins and Dennis Quaid and serving as a musical inspiration to Jeff Bridges who featured her on his Sleep Club website.  Other notable performances include her appearance in 2014 on America’s Got Talent, where she was featured in two televised episodes and advanced to Judgement Week; performing as an Emerging Artist at 2018’s and 2022's Summerfest; singing backup vocals to Kenny Loggins at 2019’s Hawaii Songwriters Festival; performing at the renowned 30A Songwriters Festival along with Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile, Bob Schneider Shawn Mullins, Livingston Taylor and more; opening a San Francisco 49ers game; and winning the 2015 Belk Southern Musician Showcase.  She currently performs in Austin and tours througout the US.
