In the US, her self-titled EP reached #23 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart in 2014, and the single "Undiscovered", which appeared on the Fifty Shades of Grey Soundtrack, peaked at #38 on the Rock Songs chart the following year. Her music video for "Cold Front" was co-directed and co-choreographed by Daniel "Cloud" Campos and features a performance by Tamara Levinson.
