In early 2002 she took part in the sound mix show on Dutch television, where she had great success and reached the final. In 2003 she took part in Idols and reached third place. In the same year she released her debut album Around the World , which contains pop and R&B pieces, but is also influenced by Portuguese and Arabic music. More than 40,000 records were sold and the album achieved gold status. In 2004 she received the Edison Award for best Dutch new singer. In 2005 her second album Halfway Home was released, which she calls Arabpop due to the Arab influence on the music . In 2008 she took part for the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade, but was eliminated in the first semi-final.

On November 23, 2009, Hind started at Sellaband to collect € 40,000 from their fans for the production of a new music album . After only 11 days the total was together. The second phase of the project at Sellaband started on December 8, 2009, in which a further € 30,000 was initially to be financed for album advertising. Ultimately, this phase was ended on January 12, 2011 with a sum of € 24,000. The originally planned third phase, in which a further € 30,000 should be financed for the production of three video clips, was no longer implemented.
