2009–2012: Daisy Jack and The Voice Siegfrids started her career with her band
Daisy Jack in 2009. Their first single was
Perfect Crime, released in October 2011. She achieved her first musical role in the musical,
Play Me (2009–2010) at the
Swedish Theatre in Helsinki. Her next major career step was to be cast in the rock musical
Muskettisoturit, (
The Three Musketeers, 2011) at the Finnish
Peacock Theatre in
Helsinki. Siegfrids participated in the
first season of The Voice of Finland (2011–2012) but was dropped in the semifinals. On 16 May, her entry made it to the final of the Eurovision on 18 May. However, in the finals it finished 24th out of the 26 countries with a total of 13 points. According to the then Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest,
Jon Ola Sand, Turkey had announced in November that it would withdraw from the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, being one of four countries to do so. Though the Turkish television channel
TRT promised to still broadcast the contest, they eventually cancelled broadcasting the contest over what LGBT activists alleged was fears of Siegfrids' promised lesbian kiss. When China broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest in October 2013, officials aired Siegfrid's performance but removed the kiss as a result of the television censorship in China and violation of Chinese ethics, sparking outrage among Eurovision fans in the country. Siegfrids' debut album,
Ding Dong!, was released on 10 May 2013. Later, it was announced that she would be a guest on ''
Big Brother's Bit on the Side, a spin-off of the British version of Big Brother''. She represented Finland in the
Sopot Festival in concert "Top of the Top" on 23 August 2013 with her entry "Marry Me". Siegfrieds was the spokesperson for Finland in the
Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna and gave the top mark of twelve points to
Sweden's
Måns Zelmerlöw and his song "
Heroes", which went on to win the contest.
