​

Sugar Rainbow set up her first recording studio at home and recorded her first “2 albums” (Magic Touch) and (Awareness) plus an EP (Something Special). She decided to keep the name “Sugar” but wanted something that flows on the albums and thought about how American Indians had those interesting names and chose to add the word “Rainbow” which was positive, colourful, togetherness, love & peaceful, also because of her Apache mix heritage that would perfectly make sense. Her artist name “Sugar Rainbow” was born.

​

Then she got invited to Africa with her manager, where the albums were well received.

After, She hooked up with a sound engineer who worked with different artist and recorded “2 more albums” (Invisible Life) and (Independent Dreams).
