For years, Houston sustained a bi-coastal career performing on stages with the likes of Barbara Streisand, Patti Austin, Joe Cocker, Celine Dion, Rick Astley and Sam Harris. A private scholarship in opera temporarily took her to USC where she prepared for the Met auditions. It was at this juncture she realized musical theater was her future.

Meanwhile, she toured with Motown legends Mary Wells, Martha and the Vandellas and The Platters while performing with tribute band, The Marvelous Marvelettes. Later, she joined the cast of Michael Jackson's production of Larry Harts Sisterella! and toured through Germany, Austria and Australia.

After the tours, she moved to New York City making appearances on and off Broadway. Other NYC credits include the John Tuturro film Romance and Cigarettes and featured soloist in RCA's recording of William Finn's Infinite Joy.
