Cattski came from a group of her namesake yet disbanded in the year 2010 after ten years of shared music and performances. In order to pay tribute to the band, she then released an anniversary compilation album, "Cattski Ten" (2010) which took off her transition as a solo artist.

Some of Cattski’s production work includes the first album “I’m Not Sure What To Say But I’ll Say It Anyway” of Cebuano pop band, Wonggoys; a single dubbed “Life to Live” for I Can Serve Foundation performed by the Wonggoys; the debut album of new 22 Tango artist, Ella Melendez; and the collaboration album “Kismet the Singles” with Ian Zafra where she served as co-producer.

Cattski is also the sole proprietor of an established independent record label called 22 Tango Records which already is home to 11 artists and has 15 released albums.

Cattski served as the co-founder of three dynamic groups in Cebu; Artist Ko (Artist KO-operatiba!) a duly registered organization and the first-ever cooperative for artists in Cebu; PAK: Performing Arts Kolektib, where members show their talents in performance art and improvisational theater; and The Really Bad Poets which started as an offshoot project of PAK where a loose group of poets cater to Cebu’s pulsating literary community.

Cattski led a new way of reaching her music to people all over the world through unveiling the power of online media. As she was building up to the release of her latest album “Zero” (2012), Cattski decided to produce Countdown to 0:00:00 [1], a nine episode mini-documentary series which is launched on YouTube and Facebook in a way to make netizens fully involved to the entire process of her creative journey. Doing what she believes paved Cattski’s way to jump from niche to slowly becoming a worldly known artist.
