Fresh from launching her music career in Germany in 2004 with her first solo album, Solitary, she returned to the country and was able to cook up three notable studio albums.

Her third album, Ina Ethe (2011), achieved significant commercial success, selling very well and later receiving a South African Music Award for best contemporary album in 2013.
