In 2004 she scored an international hit with The Killer's Song, based on the music of “Twisted Nerve” (G. Hermann) after its use in the Kill Bill soundtrack by Quentin Tarantino. In 2005 The Killer's Song Vol II was released with remixes by European DJs including The Disco Boys; mixes were heavily played in Ibiza, EMI marketed the single in Latin America and Ultra handled US distribution.
