In 1997, Wray appeared as a featured vocalist on the song "Gettaway" for Missy Elliott's first album Supa Dupa Fly.
Her 1998 debut single "Make It Hot" was certified gold.
In June 1998, Wray released her first single "Make It Hot".
The single peaked in the top-five on Billboard's Hot 100, and received certified gold-status within six weeks of its release for a total of over 700,000 copies sold.
On August 25, 1998, Wray released her first album Make It Hot.
The album only achieved moderated success, peaking at forty-two on Billboard Top 200 Albums and ninety-one on the UK Albums Chart.
Following the issue of the album, Wray toured as the opening act and background vocalist for Elliott's concert tour.
The album's follow-up singles "I Can't See" and "Eyes Better Not Wander" failed to crossover with the latter only peaking at seventy-one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in 1999.
The single achieved success in European markets and even garnered a gold-status certification by the SNEP.
In 2000, Wray began recording her original second album titled Elektric Blue.
In July 2001, she released the single "I'm Lookin'" which was planned to be the lead single.
Following the single's moderate performance on the R&B chart, the album Elektric Blue was subjected to several postponed dates and was ultimately shelved when Wray decided to leave The Goldmind Inc and Elektra Records in 2001.
In 2002, gospel duo Pam & Dodi released "Don't Have To", a gospel and pop song written by Wray.
The song was featured as the lead single of the duo's self-titled album.
