In 1985, assuming the pseudonym Lian Ross, the singles Fantasy and Say You'll Never were released, and under the pseudonym Creative Connection — Call My Name, Scratch My Name and a cover of the song by the band Modern Talking You're My Heart, You're My Soul.
In 1986, another hit It's Up To You was created, which, together with Fantasy, was at the top of the German charts and dance floors for many months. In the same year, she recorded the single Neverending Love in two versions ("RAP" and "SONG"), for which a video clip was shot. Creative Connection also recorded the single Don't You Go Away.
A year later, Lian Ross released the single Oh Won't You Tell Me. In the same year, a cover version of the single Do You Wanna Funk was recorded.

In 1989, there was a metamorphosis associated with the recording of the single Feel So Good in the house style. 2 video clips were shot for it, and the single itself became the soundtrack to the movie Mystical Pizza.
