Howells formed her first band in Milford Haven,[1] West Wales, when she was 10 years old, with friend Nia George.

[3] Howells' main musical project, together with co-writer and guitarist Richard Llewellyn, also from west Wales, was the band Paper Aeroplanes (originally known as Halflight).

When Lange, a DJ and record producer, moved to Cardiff and was looking for a female vocalist for his album Better Late Than Never, he met Howells, who lived there at the time.

After the success with her debut single, Howells worked with other trance musicians in 2009 such as First State, John O'Callaghan and Dash Berlin.

[8] In 2010, two of her songs each appeared on the album Changing Lanes of First State and Harmonic Motion of Lange.
