With her band Speed, she won a youth band festival in Sankt Wendel and thus a guitar amplifier and a day in the loop-music tone. [4] In 2009, she won the Hannah Montana vocal competition, initiated by Disney Channel and Super RTL, the single published the best for you (album: Disney Star Clique) [5] and sang in the Disney Channel trailer Mehr Sommer für alle (Summer of Stars).
In 2010, Haben became a member of the pop group Saphir, which consisted of the Kika "Best Voice" winners from 2007 to 2010. The band released a single and an album in 2010 and performed nationwide.
