In 2011 she tried her hand in music while still maintaining an active poetry career. The transition was so natural she got picked up as an opener for two Hiphop tours. In the climb of her career, in 2012, two beautiful surprises popped into her life and Richelle became a mother and took a break from the industry, but vowed to return. In 2016 she returned with the strategy to get her social media numbers up and began her freestyle frenzy. She started doing poems and rap freestyles in the car and has watched her following organically grow from hundreds to over 21,000 followers.
