Mami Kawada's vocal talent was first discovered by Eiko Shimamiya, who was a teacher at a vocal school in Sapporo, Hokkaido. She was then introduced to I've Sound, a music production group where Shimamiya is, and Kawada would soon become attached to. In 2001, her debut song with the I've Sound was to perform "Kaze to Kimi wo Daite" which was the opening theme for the eroge "miss you". The song was featured in the I've Sound's 5th Compilation Album entitled "OUT FLOW". Since then, great numbers of theme songs for dating sim or visual novel games are offered for her to perform.
In 2002, she began performing anime theme songs and at the same time, still performing theme songs for visual novel games. Kawada performed the ending theme for the anime Onegai Teacher entitled "Sora no Mori de" and it was the first anime theme song that she performed. At the same year, Kawada and Shimamiya grouped themselves as the "Healing Leaf" and performed some theme songs for visual novel games but only one song was featured in the I've Girls Compilation which was "Ame ni Utau Tanshikyoku".
Then in 2005, she released her major debut single entitled radiance which was the opening theme for the anime Starship Operators under Geneon Entertainment Inc. This marked the launch of her career as a songwriter/vocalist. The song radiance was written by her and accompanied by KOTOKO. But the following releases, she began to write her own lyrics.
