She has collaborated with such talented musicians as aerophonist Casey Benjamin (Robert Glasper Experiment), drummer Robert "Sput" Searight (Snarky Puppy, Ghost-Note), and a team of exceptional keyboardists, including Caleb McCampbell (Beyoncé, Michael Bublé), Julian Pollack (Marcus Miller, David Sanborn, Joe Lovano), Nicholas Semrad (Miss Lauryn Hill, Talib Kweli, Bootsy Collins), and Brett Williams (Marcus Miller, Mumford and Sons, Stevie Wonder).

Her talent is further validated by the fact that Marcus Miller invited her for a duet performance.
