Despite their popularity on the campus circuit, they failed to land a record deal, and soon disbanded. Idowu proceeded into Ogun State University to study Law, but left after a year to focus on her music career, soon gaining a qualification in Music Technology; prior to this she had aspired to become a basketball player, but as the Nigerian Sports Commission did not fully support women in this field, Idowu moved back to England with the intention of emigrating to America to pursue her dream.
