After a few years of hosting events in Miami's burgeoning music, arts, fashion, and club scenes in South Beach, Lady Tigra moved back to New York City, where she managed nightclubs. In 2008, she moved to Los Angeles and released her first solo project, "Please Mr. Boombox" (which featured a guest track by MC Lyte), to great critical review, and leading to MySpace putting the first track on their sign-in page as video of the month. Tigra wrote and performed the jingle on the Pinkberry website and appeared on Nickelodeon's award-winning children's show "Yo Gabba Gabba", where she performed Debbie Deb's "When I Hear Music." In 2010, she collaborated with writer/director J.B. Ghuhman Jr. and music producer Yeti Beats on the soundtrack of the award-winning movie "Spork", which incorporated many references to 1990s pop-culture.
