Available in:
Her debut album Do You Wanna Ride?, featuring the number two Platinum selling hit single, "Freak like Me", was released in 1995 and was certified Gold by the RIAA. Remixed versions of "My Up And Down" and "It's All About You" were also released as singles.
In 1996, she recorded three songs: "For The Funk" for the Sunset Park movie soundtrack, "Chocolate (Cuties And Condoms)" with Cydal for the Bulletproof movie soundtrack and "Damned If I Do" a duet with Somethin' For The People for the A Thin Line Between Love and Hate movie soundtrack.
A second album, Welcome to Fantasy Island (originally titled Portrait of a Lady), garnered critical raves and a moderate hit with the lead single, "(Freak) And U Know It", but was shelved by Elektra Records in 1997. The album was leaked to the internet a few years later and promotional copies sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay. In 1997, she collaborated with Jamie Foxx on the slow jam, "T-Shirt & Panties" which was originally slated for the soundtrack to his film Booty Call. However, the song ended up on the soundtrack to the 1998 feature film Woo. During this time, she made her feature film debut in the independent film High Freakquency, starring Deon Richmond and John Witherspoon.
In 2002, she filmed her second movie role, in the still-unreleased Casanova's Demise for director Tigre Hill.
By 2004, Howard released her third album The Second Coming on Rufftown Records. A video for the first single, "Nasty Grind", played on BET during early morning hours. The album sold poorly due to lack of promotion and only managed to gather 40,000 copies on store shelves and she was later sued by the label. A second single, "(Outside) The Club" was slated to be released, along with a remix album The Second Coming: Remixed & UnCut but both were cancelled following her departure from the label. She released an official mixtape album (with DJ RIP) featuring new songs, remixes, and unreleased tracks titled Let You Hit through SoundJewelz.com on August 5, 2005.
In 2006, she announced that a new single "Phone Sex" was going to be released, but the following year, the song "L.O.V.A." was released digitally as her lead single. Additionally, a song titled "Hips" was slated to be her second single.
Her fourth album, Private Show was delayed many times by Arsenal Records, almost to the point of being shelved. However, it was released on June 26, 2007 along with a promotional single "Picture This". As of 2008, the album has sold 4000 copies. Following the album's release, a remixes EP for "My Hips" (appears as "Hips" on her album) was released on iTunes & other digital services in December. A third official single, "Tease" was slated to be released, but as Howard parted ways with the label shortly after the album's release, it was cancelled.
In 2008, she appeared in the short film Poke the Sleeping Bear which won the Grand Jury Award at the 2008 Solstice Film Festival.
On September 25, 2009 a UK compilation Independent Soul Divas 2 was released on Lola Waxx Records. This compilation album featured "What Do I Do", a song recorded by Howard in 2008. The album version is different than the version that was originally included on Howard's MySpace page.
As of 2011, she is working on her Culinary Arts degree as well as an upcoming cookbook, an untitled fifth studio album, and a restaurant in Austin, Texas.
In 2012, Howard released two buzz singles online: "2 Close" and "Ooh Wee". On January 16, 2013 Howard wrote on her Twitter account that her new single "Better Than Ever" would be released soon
