As a singer-songwriter, she released her debut single "Nota bene" in 2013.[8] Her first studio album Minimal Musical was released independently in 2014.[6] She released her second studio album Bingo with the label Island Records in 2021.[9] Bingo peaked at 21 in the Italian album charts.[10] She released collaborations with numerous artists, including Elodie, Francesca Michielin, Gaia, Rancore, Raphael Gualazzi, and Vinicio Capossela.[11]

In February 2022, she participated in Sanremo Music Festival accompanying La Rappresentante di Lista, Cosmo, and Ginevra during the covers night, singing the song "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes.[12]
