In November 2014, she posted a Vine of her singing a line that she had made up, which was inspired by the television seriesOnce Upon a Time.[5] The video went viral, and garnered around 84,000 likes within a week. Taking note of its popularity and with encouragement from her followers,[6] she adapted it into a full song titled "Lost Boy", which she posted onYouTube on January 18, 2015 and was released oniTunes on February 12, 2015.[7][8] Dozens of Vine and YouTube users posted covers, which helped further its popularity and increased Berhe's following on social media. Record labels took notice and she then signed withColumbia Records in July 2015.[9]

Her debut EP,The Intro, was released on November 27, 2015. It has four songs including "Lost Boy".[10]
