A successful Kickstarter campaign led to the release of Broussard's album Masquerade in 2010.[6] In 2011, she was the runner-up in Rolling Stone magazine's "Choose the Cover" contest and appeared live on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. In 2012, Broussard was a contestant on the third season of The Voice, winning a spot on Team Blake after auditioning with her rendition of Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen.[11]

In 2013, Broussard formed the indie rock band Secret Someones with Bess Rogers, Hannah Winkler, and Zach Jones.[12] They released their debut self-titled album in 2015 through the label Cherrytree Records.[13] In early 2016, the band announced an indefinite hiatus.[14] Later in the year, she formed Jupiter Winter with Royce Whittaker.[1][15]
