At age twelve, Harris was enrolled in a vocal camp and began crafting her own songs and playing guitar. By the time she graduated from high school, Harris earned a music scholarship and a welding scholarship, but took neither and decided to press on with her musical career.

On July 1, 2010, Harris released her debut album titled All the Right Reasons,[6] followed by an EP in 2013 titled Taking It Back.[7]
In 2013, Harris began working on material for a second full-length album and toured with fellow Troubadour, TX star Zane Williams throughout the state.[8] Then in March, 2019, she released a new self titled EP.[9]
