Cal met her future Ezra Band bandmates in her hometown, Davao del Sur. The group eventually competed in the first season of
Pilipinas Got Talent, where they became grand finalists. The covers the group performed on the show were released in the
Pinoy You Got It album, which is a compilation of songs from the contestants on the show. Their covers of
The Corrs' "
Runaway" and
Eric Clapton's "
Wonderful Tonight" were included on the album, along with their original song "Walang Iba" (lit. "No one else"). The band has since gone on hiatus, starting Cal's career as a solo artist. She started uploading her covers on
YouTube regularly, which gained popularity such as her cover of
Up dharma Down's song "Tadhana". In March 2017, Kaye released her self-titled debut album which featured nine tracks, including two original songs ("Rosas" and "Mahal Ba Ako ng Mahal Ko"), three covers, and her past singles ("Walang Iba", "Nyebe", "Isang Araw" and "Give Me A Chance"). In August 2017, Kaye won the OPM Revival of the Year at the 2017 MOR Pinoy Music Awards for the single "Give Me A Chance". She won the Star Music's Listener's Choice Award at the 2017 Himig Handog Awards for "The Labo Song". Cal was a member of
ASAP Jambayan from the segment's launch on October 15, 2017, until February 2018. ==Personal life==
