At the age of 15, Nance was discovered in a club by dance producer Ruud van Rijen, who created the dance-act Twenty 4 Seven around her and rapper Captain Hollywood, who was later replaced by Stay C. The act scored several hits, most notably Slave to the Music.
In 1996, Nance left Twenty 4 Seven to embark on a solo career. Around the same time she began working as a presenter for Dutch television by occasionally hosting the Dutch Top 40 for TMF Nederland. Nance moved on to various game shows, such as Liefde is... for RTL 5 and Rappatongo for TROS, before taking over as the host of Lingo, which she presented until 2005.
