For her first feature film, Hate Crime, Tay produced a hit remix that made the top 20 of Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Tay was discovered by music icon Les Garland (MTV, VH1, The Box), and later signed by Chris Blackwell of Island Records and Palm Pictures, joining Bob Marley and U2 on the famed label’s impressive lineup. She has toured extensively through Europe and has opened for Hall & Oates, Mobb Deep, Indie Arie, Brian McKnight, and Gypsy Kings. Tay was signed by A&R mogul Don Rubin (Tracy Chapman, Marcy Playground) to Sony/Edel records and worked with producers for Beck, Perry Ferrell, the Rolling Stones, and Nine Inch Nails.
