She wanted to make her musical style along the lines of hard rock guitarist Slash, but riffing soon gave way to contemplative songwriting.

[1] In 1995, Wiley joined the band Sixpence None the Richer on their European and American tours and wrote a mini-album Tickets For A Prayer Wheel[1] as well as "Disconnect" for their second record, This Beautiful Mess.

[2] After her departure from Sixpence, she began recording under the name "Splendora" but had to abandon it because it was in copyright violation with the New York City group of the same name.

Together, they agreed to change the name of the band to Xtra Fluffy and compiled a few songs along with Zachary Gresham of Southern Hymns.

During those times, she also wrote a German song, "Licht Leuchte Auf" and translated "My Fortress And My Shield", an inspiration of Psalm 42 from her Not Quite Me record.
