She focused on singing, playing the clarinet and piano, and composing. She soon attended saxophonist David Boykin's free jazz sessions and formed her Participatory Music Coalition with like-minded musicians.

In 2019 the jazz label International Anthem released her solo album The Oracle , on which she also performed her own pieces. The album received very good reviews. In autumn 2019 she toured Europe.
