Though only a teen-ager at the time, she was the vocalist for one of Dorsey's big hits, "Besame Mucho." Most of her singing assignments were in duets with Bob Eberly, and when Eberly left to go into the service toward the end of 1943, she joined Harry James' band. Poetica is scheduled for a commercial release around May 2005. After a short stay with Bobby Sherwood, she joined the Jimmy Dorsey band, replacing Helen O'Connell.

After "Rapture" was released, the duo followed suite with several more successful singles, "At The End" (including the popular "Scumfrog" Remix), "Smooth" (including the popular "Airbase" Remix), and their latest single, "Runaway". IIO's full album, Poetica, has been delayed several times but is expected to be released in 2004. (While with the Savitt band, she briefly was a roommate of Dinah Shore.) She married Clint Garvin, who played clarinet in Teagarden's band, and when Teagarden fired Garvin, she left as well. A large number of bootleg and whitelabel remixes ensued, including a highly-sought Paul Van Dyk bootleg remix . As a pre-teen she had her own program on Philadelphia's WCAU, and soon she sang as a vocalist with the big bands of Jan Savitt in 1936, Artie Shaw in 1938, and Jack Teagarden in 1940. IIO followed up "Rapture" with several successful remixes of the track by producers by John Creamer, Stephane K, and Deep Dish. Subsequently she sang (while still a child) on The Children's Hour, a radio program sponsored by Horn & Hardart, a firm which had a chain of cafeterias in New York and Philadelphia. The name "IIO" is dervied from the Sony PC model named "Vaio", on which the duo was creating much of their early work. Later, when neighborhood people came to congratulate her father, he realized that her story was true.
