Reid stated that it gave her the life experience she needed to enter the music industry.

Reid was soon discovered by writer, producer, and Wax Records co-founder Jamie Appleby, who signed her to his label after finding a parody of Justin Bieber's "One Less Lonely Girl" (titled "One Less Lonely Boy") that she had posted on YouTube, which went viral.

It went on to be CRIA certified double platinum in Canada and sold over a million copies around the world.

In February 2011, she reached #1 on Billboard's "Canadian Emerging Artist" chart and held there for a record-breaking 33 weeks straight.

In February 2012, "Alone Again" achieved major success in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, beaten to the summit by "Titanium" by David Guetta featuring Sia.

During this time, Reid was also featured on Wax Records label-mate Jesse Labelle's 2012 single "Heartbreak Coverup".

In September 2013, Reid released the single "Satisfaction Guaranteed",[4] which rose to #25 on the Canadian Hot 100.

Reid, along with Danny Fernandes and JRDN, joined Hedley on their Wild Live 2014 Canadian Tour, which began on February 14, 2014.

After that, she worked with various artists in Sweden, Los Angeles and Toronto as a songwriter and creative director.
