Music career
Price was signed to Sony Records in 2007, and began recording Guts & Garbage. On that album she collaborated with Raphael Saadiq and Danny Saber. Following business complications with the label, Price took the initiative to form her own label, KPI, and released the album in 2008.
Around this time, Price recorded several covers and an original song for other commercial usage. In 2007, she recorded a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Feeling Groovy", which appeared in a Clinique commercial. In 2007, she recorded a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke" for a Lee Jeans commercial.
In 2008, Price also recorded vocals for the opening track, "We Will Be Heroes", of the Pokémon DP: Battle Dimensions television series, and the ending track, "I'll Always Remember You", for two Pokémon movies, The Rise of Darkrai and Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
Price collaborated on the production of Kidz Bop 15 in 2009, where she acted as vocal producer.
The single from the Guts & Garbage album, "Magic Tree", was used by a number of major TV syndicates, such as Showtime and ABC. This single also appeared on a compilation album by Showtime.
In 2010, she released "With or Without You" as the lead single from her self-produced second album, Brixton to Brooklyn. Several songs off of the album, including the single, have also been picked up for use on more network shows, such as on Oxygen's The Bad Girls Club, MTV's The City, and VH1's Mob Wives.
