In 2006, in collaboration with jazz pianist, Sean Foran, Washington released her debut EP Nightlight.[1] The EP won the 2008 Australian Jazz Bell Award for Best Australian Jazz Vocal Album.[2] She released her second EP, Bennetts Lane, with pianist Paul Grabowsky in 2007. Her musical style moved away from jazz when she began backing a blues and roots musician, Old Man River, as the keyboardist and backing vocalist.[3]

In July 2010, Washington released her debut album. I Believe You Liar. The album was a commercial and critical success, peaking at number 3 on the ARIA Charts, and was certified platinum.[4][5]
