Music video
"Yes. The exposure I received from the Maxx music videos 'No More' and 'You Can Get It' got me recognized in a big way. Performing on all the major dance charts shows on television also gave me major exposure as well. Even today people still ask me "hey are you that girl with the short hair from that Maxx music videos?"
