In 2018, she began releasing independent tracks. In 2019, after she released two more singles, Sony Arista Records signed her to the label. She made her label debut with her singles "Time", "Paper", and a collaboration with Jack Harlow in "Comic Sans". In 2020, she changed her stage name to Audrey Nuna and released more singles, including "damn Right" and "damn Right Pt. 2" with DJ Snake. ^[7] She issued a ten-track project of previous singles and new tracks in 2021 named A Liquid Breakfast.
