Discovered by Jamaican producer Dave Kelly as a teenager, Ms. Thing released her first single on his Madhouse Records label, "Get That Money", in December 2002.[2]

She is best known for singing the chorus to the international hit song "Dude" by Beenie Man, written and produced by Kelly.[3] In the United States, "Dude" peaked at number four on the Billboards Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts in July 2004 and spent 48 weeks on that chart, and also peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] In the United Kingdom, "Dude" peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart in March 2004, and spent 11 weeks on that chart.[5] [6]

The success of "Dude", and the remix and video featuring US rapper Shawnna, launched Ms. Thing into the international spotlight. She was signed to Sequence Records and in 2004 released her debut album, Miss Jamaica, featuring productions by Dave Kelly, Don Corleon, Tony Kelly, Leftside & Esco, and Switch.[7] The album also features guest vocals from Beenie Man, Vybz Kartel, Sugar Daddy and Alanna Leslie.

In 2004, Ms. Thing's track "Love Guide" with Switch was included on the Wall of Sound album Two Culture Clash and she worked with David Guetta on his 2005 album Guetta Blaster. Her vocals have been remixed by UK garage producer Sticky, Portugal's Buraka Som Sistema, and British-Asian producers Panjabi Hit Squad.

Ms. Thing contributed vocals on the tracks "When You Hear The Bassline" and "Bruk Out" (with T.O.K.) from Major Lazer's 2009 debut album Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do.[7] Also in 2009, she teamed up with Dre Skull's New York label Mixpak to voice "Bonify" alongside Psycho Tanbad.[7] [8]
