She began traditional Khmer dancing when she was just a young girl, and when she turned 17 her music career began. Her style of music attracts the youth of Cambodia as well as adults. She is considered one of the most popular artists in Cambodia today.[3] Some of the more recent tracks released are composed by Meng Keo Pichenda herself.
