On 26 November 2021,[8] Jazzy featured as lead vocals on the Belters Only's song "Make Me Feel Good", which charted at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart[9] and No. 1 on the Irish Singles Chart, making them the first Irish dance act to top said chart since Mark McCabe did so with Maniac 2000.[10] On 25 March 2022, Belters Only & Jazzy released a second single together titled "Don't Stop Just Yet",[11] which charted at No. 84 on the UK Singles Chart.[9]

On 10 March 2023, Jazzy released her first solo single titled "Giving Me",[12][8] which peaked at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart[9] and at No. 1 on the Irish Singles Chart, making her the first Irish solo female artist to top said chart since Julie-Anne Dineen did so with Do You Believe?,[13] and the first Irish female artist to reach No. 1 on Spotify.[14][15]

On 3 October 2025, Jazzy released the DJ mix Gewah Selects that she said "is made up of new tunes from me, some banging remixes and other tracks I love and have been playing out forever."[16][17]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ↑ From January 2023, when both LaIPA and TopHit began publishing Latvian airplay charts, peak positions are taken from LaIPA where available; however, as not all of Jazzy's singles charted on LaIPA while several peaked on TopHit, TopHit data is also taken into consideration from that date onward.
