Vaeh has developed a catalog of emotionally charged, message-driven music. Her debut single "Yoyo" introduced her to a wider audience.

Vaeh’s music has been featured on U.S. and international radio and covered by outlets such as Wonderland Magazine, Pop Wrapped, Music Connection Magazine, Dark Beauty Magazine, AudioFemme, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

A defining aspect of Vaeh’s career is her commitment to social causes. She aligns each single with a nonprofit organization, donating proceeds to groups including the Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Project, Peace Over Violence, MusiCares, Alliance of Hope, Red Cross, and Girl Up. Her single "Anxiety" addresses mental health struggles and supports MusiCares, while "Leap of Faith" contributed to Help Musicians, a UK-based organization assisting musicians.
