This exposure led to a record deal with Warner Music Canada, and in 2011, she released her debut single, Shut Up and Dance, which peaked at number 12 on the Canadian Hot 100 and earned platinum certification.
Her debut album of the same name, released in 2012, featured additional hits like Break My Heart (number 35 on the Canadian Hot 100, certified gold) and They Don’t Know About Us, a duet with Cody Simpson.
Duffield’s second album, Accelerate (2014), included the single More Than Friends, which reached number 49 on the Canadian Hot 100, but the album itself struggled commercially.
