Shortly after, she prepared materials and started performing at local open mics. She led off with a performance at the Village Underground in New York City. After performing only twice at the venue, the crowds were already singing along to her songs.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} Her confidence continued to build until she launched her solo career in 2011 and in October, became the second person to win the Amateur Night at the Apollo Theatre in the last three years with her original song, "Got Me Loose".
