The song, Kinek mondjam el vétkeimet?, placed fourth in the contest with 122 points, getting three 12-points in the process and making it Hungary's best placing to date.

Afterward, she released her debut album, which was quickly certified gold. She was awarded the EMERTON prize by the Hungarian Radio honouring her success at the Eurovision Song Contest, and according to the votes of the music business as well as the public, in 1994 she was awarded the Golden Deer prize as Pop Singer of the Year. The following year, she received the EMERTON prize (now for the second time) this time as Newcomer of the Year. In addition to this she was given the Golden Giraffe prize, created by Mahasz, in the same category.

In August 1995 she won second place at the 32nd Sopot Festival in Poland, and performed on the same stage with Annie Lennox and Chuck Berry in the Grand Finale. She became a member of the Faith Church in 1996, along with her husband, and since then they have regularly been attending the services of the Church in Budapest.

In 1998, the first single "Feltárcsáztad a szívemet" ("You dialled my heart") of her third album became the most often played radio-hit in Hungary.

Today, she has shifted to gospel music, and can be heard every Sunday on the radio.
