She then became known as Amuka, and released her 2003 anthem, “Appreciate Me“ a hit that marked her with the number 1 song for the Top 200 Dance Songs of the year. Her second single as Amuka is “U Ain’t That Good“ which charted up to the number 3 position on Billboard.

She released another huge song entitled “I Want More“ that also went number 1 on the Billboard Dance charts. Amuka then signed a Recording Contract with Ultra Records for her radio smash hit “Craving.“

The legend’s latest single “Don’t Fall For It” with Grapefruit Sound Lab is rising up the dance charts. The anti-Trump song is being promoted by Sobel Promotions.
