[13] During this time, Lachi was featured on Oprah Radio, CW and NPR, [14] [15] [16] and performed at PrideFest (Milwaukee), where she opened for Patti LaBelle. [17]

Lachi later collaborated with Israeli World Music producer Zafrir Ifrach to create the Mediterranean-infused Dance track Dalale which garnered over a million views on YouTube in August of 2016.
