Career

Before Brown started to DJ, she was signed to a record label in the United Kingdom with a group called Fishbowl.[3] They were about to release their first single under the label, but the group fell apart and Brown turned to DJ.[3][4] She then began performing at small venues around Melbourne and worked with promoters around Australia.[5]

In 2008, Brown signed to Universal Music Australia, after being approached by a boss of the label, who asked her if she was interested in doing a compilation album.[4][6] She has since been releasing her Crave compilation series through the label. In October 2008, Brown supported Rihanna on the Australian leg of her Good Girl Gone Bad Tour.[3] In May 2009, she served as a support act for the Pussycat Dolls during the Australian leg of their Doll Domination Tour.[7] Brown also supported Britney Spears during the European leg of her 2009 Circus Tour.[8] She earned the same support role for the Australian leg of the tour in November 2009.[9]

Since December 2009, Brown has provided mixes every Saturday night on Party People, a radio show which broadcasts across Australia by the Today Network.[10] In April 2011, she served as a support act for Chris Brown's Australian F.A.M.E. Tour.[11]

On 29 April 2011, Brown released her debut single "We Run the Night",[12] which was written and produced by Cassie Davis and Snob Scrilla of production duo, More Mega.[13] The song peaked at number five on the ARIA Singles Chart,[14] and was certified Double Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for selling 140,000 copies.[15] On 4 September 2011, Brown told The Daily Telegraph that she has signed to Universal Republic Records in the United States and will release "We Run the Night" there.[16] Her second single, "Get It", was released on 9 September 2011.[17] The song was also written and produced by More Mega.[13]

Brown plans to release her debut studio album in 2012.[18]
