In the mid-nineties, actor Lim Kay Tong introduced Abisheganaden to Ying Tan, who signed her to his Groove Note label. Her first jazz album was released in 1998: "Here's To Ben – A Vocal Tribute To Ben Webster". Abisheganaden's second album for the Groove Note label, "Autumn Leaves: The Songs of Johnny Mercer" (1999) has seen the title track being used for TV series "Alias", while the bonus track "Here's to Life" was used as the title track for the Hollywood movie "Play It to the Bone", as well as being used during Michael J. Fox's narration of ABC Sports' coverage Game 7 of the 2001 Stanley Cup Finals. She has since recorded several jazz albums under the Groove Note label, including "Lush Life" (2002), "Jacintha is Her Name" (2003), "The Girl from Bossa Nova" (2004) and "Jacintha Goes to Hollywood" (2007). The retrospective collection "Best of Jacintha" was released in 2008.
