In 2017, Mishra collaborated with Jamila Woods to create the theme song of the Emmy-nominated web series Brown Girls.[10]
On 19 May 2018, she uploaded a video on her Instagram handle singing a mashup of the Hindi song "Tareefan" and DJ Snake's "Let Me Love You". The mashup caught Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s attention, and Mishra was subsequently flown to India where she recorded and shot for the reprise version of the song for Veere Di Wedding, along with the other stars.[11]

Her debut album, Sorry, I'm Late, released by the artist in May 2024, blended Indian and Western pop.[16] It featured guest appearances from rappers Yashraj and RANJ, and the production of the album was primarily handled by Abhijay Sharma and Charan.[17][18] She was featured in Rolling Stone India's first edition of the "Future of Music" list in 2024.[19]
