In early 2016, she participated in a singing competition, Tecno Own the Stage, which featured contestants from across Africa. During the finals in Lagos, Nigeria, Nandy emerged as the first runner-up. The competition groomed her musically, helping her gain performance confidence and acquire essential knowledge of the music industry from musical tutors and mentors such as Chocolate City's M.I Abaga, Yemi Alade , and Bien of Sauti Sol.
