Her debut album Tranquillity (1999) earned her the award for Best Newcomer at the South African Music Awards and nominations for Best Contemporary Jazz Album and Best Female Artist. In 2001, she released The Many Faces of Gloria Bosman, which featured collaborations with Paul Hanmer. Her subsequent releases included the album Stop & Think (2003).
