During her time at the Conservatorium, she began performing with local jazz musicians and quickly gained recognition in the Adelaide jazz scene.

In 2017, Dickson won the Vocal Jazz Soloist award in Downbeat Magazine's awards, despite mistakenly entering the Graduate College category before completing her degree.

In 2024, after three years of production, Dickson released her first full-length album, Champagne. The album features both local and international musicians, such as guitarists Ben Finnis and Tyler Venter, trumpeter Harrison Smith, saxophonist Hailey Niswanger, and trumpeter JJ Kirkpatrick. Renowned guitarist Andrew Renfroe and vocalists Camille Trust and Kate K-S also contributed to the project.
