In early 2008, Lady Kash commenced on a solo career in the music industry. Later that year in September, Krissy joined forces - establishing themselves as Lady Kash and Krissy from then onwards. During that period, they released a few singles. Over the next 2 years, the Ladies continued to build a fanbase and spread their works through their various independent initiatives. In 2009, they went to India and continued to pursue their career from there while upgrading themselves in various areas of the music field.
In 2010, music composer Joshua Sridhar wanted to check out their vocals for a soundtrack in a Kannada film. Benny Dayal was the lead male vocalist in that song while the rap portion was done by Kash and the lead female vocalist was Krissy. Benny was impressed by the duo's vocals when he heard their vocals and had taken immediate notice of them. A few days later, Oscar & Grammy winning music composer A. R. Rahman had happened to ask Benny Dayal if he was aware of a female rapper or talented vocalists along those lines. Benny Dayal had instantly shared about Lady Kash and Krissy to music composer A. R. Rahman.
A. R. Rahman was interested and impressed by their different styles of singing, skills and song-writing capabilities of the duo. This led to the talented young Ladies transcending all expectations and bringing about a new breakthrough by becoming the first international rapper female duo to contribute to soundtracks in the Indian cinema. They gave Indian cinema and its massive audience a fresh new sound when they combined vocals with double Academy Award winning music director A. R. Rahman in the soundtrack 'Irumbile Oru Irudhayam' for Indian cinema's costliest movie, 'Endhiran' which had been directed by renowned filmmaker S. Shankar, and of course musically directed by A.R.Rahman himself.
Later, A. R. Rahman also had them contribute to "Semmozhiyaana Thamizh Mozhiyaam", the Official Theme Song for The World Classical Tamil Conference 2010 in which Kash and Krissy were the youngest vocalists.
