She was also discovered by Brian "Birdman" Willis.

Just months before her death, Magnolia Shorty was a featured artist at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas.

"I wanted to be a rapper. I've been rapping since I was 12 years old," Magnolia Shorty told Spinner.com. "I was working on mix tapes and my verse while rapping at block parties. I eventually got introduced to Cash Money Records and we just went from there."
