Her friends, in a group called Gilloteen, gave her the name Spice. Whenever she was not present with her team at a party, people would ask, Where is the spicy one? Spice would be the one to give the zing to her group. Spice praises Professor Nuts, who inspired her to get started in the music business, four years ago. She started performing at local stage shows in her community and also its environs.

1999 there was a popular cable programme on JACS called Many Moods of Nuffy showing her community Portmore. First time she got the chance to show her talent as a singer.
From there people started to encourage into taking it up as a career. That’s when dropped everything else and went on a stage show for the frst time.

Went on a tour in England 2002, Baby Cham and Ward 21, was without a hit song at the time, and Baby Cham was surprised to see her mashing up the shows. So he started to ask her why she wasn’t on the radio back home in Jamaica. Told heim she didn’t have the links to establish herself. Told her she had talent and promised ot introduce her to Dave Kelly when they went back t Jamaica. He did. She also thanks Baby Cham, because he is the reason she is still in the business today.
