London released the My Piano EP in 2007 before releasing her debut album Edible World Parade independently in February 2009.[5] Edible Word Parade was co-produced by Brian Allen (co-writer of Heart's "What About Love") and Marc Koecher.[6] The song "Understand" was included on Soundtrack 90210, the first soundtrack album for 90210, released in October 2009 by CBS Records.

In 2010, London was approached by fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk and the two wrote three songs together – "Ceila", "Too Good" and "Peach" – which appeared on London's 2012 album Eat A Peach (Bandwidth/EMI). Kreviazuk also produced and sang backing vocals for "Ceila".[7] The single "Fine" received national commercial airplay in Canada and peaked at Number 43 on Canada's Hot AC Mediabase chart.
