The band name was changed to Love and Desire but was short lived.
Her first single called “Tell Me” was released in 1990 by her brother and producer George (Meco7) Ball. Later, during her musical journey, and being in a band called Earth Force, she was approached by disc jockey, John T of WAVS 1170 radio station, who introduced her to one of Jamaica's biggest female vocalist, and queen of Reggae, Marcia Griffiths.
