Kush gained popularity in the early 2000s with the single "Let's Live Together": the group managed to release an album before disbanding.
Achievement.
In 2008, Bello released her debut studio album Greenland. It was produced by Mosa Adegboye and took two years to develop. The album earned her a Nigeria Music Award and a Sound City Award. Bello described the album as a journey of her everyday life. The album's music embodies the themes of love, family and nation. Its title track is an inspirational song written to motivate Nigerians to liberate themselves from a place of despair to a place of hope.
Bello first revealed plans about her second studio album, The Future, while speaking to Ariya Today.The album was originally slated for release in 2011, and was ranked 12th on Nigerian Entertainment Today's list of the 12 Albums to Buy in 2011.The singer said she worked with producer Mosa and recorded the album in a few months.On 19 February 2011, Bello released "The Future" as the lead single from the album of the same name.

The Kemi Adetiba-directed music video for "The Future" was released on 3 April 2011. It features cameo appearances from Tara Fela-Durotoye, Sound Sultan, Chude Jideonwo and Banky W. Ore Fakorede gave the song a rating of 7 stars out of 10, adding that its "soft tribal drums, synths and a piano provide a vivid backdrop for TY to contrast her unmistakable voice against, and this she does brilliantly, bringing the poignancy in the song's lyrics to life."
Dapo Osewa of Sahara Reporters described the video as "a narrative in itself that dares to capture the varying and boundless composition of emotion that is the face of the Nigerian." Makeup brand House of Tara launched The Jubilee Collection, a limited edition line of makeup inspired by "The Future" single.
In October 2011, Bello was one of the celebrities featured in an eight-minute anti-rape video compiled by the Nigerian Ministry of Youth Development. The anti-rape video shed light on the victim of a gang rape at Abia State University in 2011.
In December 2013, Bello released her single "Yahweh" featuring Wale Adenuga. The song features additional vocals from Nwando Okeke and Nosa. The first line of the song was written in 2004 during a photoshoot.
On 10 October 2014, TY Bello released her third studio album The Morning Songbook for free digital download on SoundCloud. It was released without any promotion and comprises 10 tracks, including "Yahweh", "Thirsty" and "Jesu Jesu". The album features collaborations with M Sugh and Fela Durotoye.
Udochukwu Ikwuagwu of the Breaking Times gave the album a rating of 7 out of 10, extensively stating, "TY Bello and Mosa deserve credit for the superb songwriting and production employed on this. At times, the vocal performance was bolstered by emotions rather than actual dexterity but the ease deployed by the back-up choristers made this ignorable. This project is one worth every dime even though it was given free: this project is one that will endure for a long while."
Others info.
TY Bello was the official photographer to former President Goodluck Jonathan during his tenure in office: she also does work for Thisday fashion magazine.
TY Bello was instrumental in the success of hairstylist/bread hawker Olajumoke Orisaguna whom she discovered in the background during a Lagos photo shoot with British rapper Tinie Tempah. After a makeover and professional photo session, Bello arranged for Orisaguna's picture to appear on the cover of This Day's Style magazine, and mother-of-two Orisaguna, who has since signed with an agency, is now a model.
