She debuted as a solo singer at Folkstudio, a music venue in Rome, in 1977.[1][2] In those years she also worked in a cultural club in Rome, the "Johann Sebastian Bar", and worked as a disc jockey in radio.[1][2]
Her first album Cliché, characterized by provocative lyrics about feminist and social themes, was released in 1978.[1][2] In 1983 she released the album Ragiona col cuore, of which the title track tells the story of a lesbian love, then in 1986 she got her first and major commercial success with the single "Le ragazze di Gauguin" and with the album with the same name.[1][2] Between 1990 and 1993 she entered the Sanremo Music Festival three times, ranking third in 1993 with "Gli amori diversi", a duet with Rossana Casale.[1][2]
