In 2010 Hyman moved to Los Angeles, California and began writing songs for other artists.[9] In 2011 she wrote a song for Ahsan Watts which helped him get signed to Interscope, and gave Hyman recognition as a songwriter.[7] She subsequently landed a publishing deal at Universal Music Publishing Group and went on to write songs with Alicia Keys, Diddy, Kanye West and Kelly Rowland.[9][10]

She was featured on Fabolous' 2015 single You Made Me[5][7] and on Dom Kennedy's 2015 single "2 Bad".
