She released and promoted her material independently, with financial assistance from her manager Craig New. She also produced the music video for lead track, "Your Way", which was played on local community radio, and national broadcaster, together with two other tracks, "Will You Ever Know" and "Be Tonight". "Your Way" was featured on new Sydney community radio station 2FBi when it first broadcast full-time.
