She went on to sing back-up vocals for the Rainmakers, which included Neil Murray, formerly founder-member of the Warumpi Band, for a year. [6] Her first recording was in 1993 with "Last Train", a dance remake of a Paul Kelly song.

In 1995, Neil Murray won an Australasian Performing Right Association songwriting award for writing "My Island Home".

"Come On" was released as the fourth and final single from Stylin' Up. The song peaked at number 94 in Australia on the ARIA Charts.
