She signed the contract the next week and that was the beginning of a wonderful, long and fruitful musical journey. The pop icon of the 90`s for more than a decade went on to sell above 13 million film/private album/compilation copies world-wide. She´s now made Hamburg, Germany her second home.
Shweta had the right launch pad with Biddu, who´s music she loved, especially Tina Charles´s Love to Love and Karl Douglas´s Kung Fu Fighting. Johnny Joker went on to become the highest selling pop album in 1993 and was in every count down for more than 25 weeks and made her the darling of the nation.

Shweta´s song Rukhmani with A.R.Rahman from the film Roja followed shortly in 1994 creating musical history and is rated as the 10 best soundtracks ever made by the Times Magazine.
