In recent years, Ina has also resumed her career as a recording artist. As part of Norwegian-Icelandic duo Ask Embla, together with Arnthor Birgisson. They released the album Northern Lights in 2013 in Norway. She has since continued her artist career under its own name. She released "Aliens (Her er jeg)" (2014), "Rebels" (2015) and "Lay It on Me" (2016). The latter was released as a collaboration with the Norwegian producer duo Broiler and climbed to No. 2 on the VG-lista singles chart.

In 2015, Calvin Harris and Disciples chose to release Ina's song "How Deep Is Your Love" using her vocals.

In 2016, she was one of the judges in the Norwegian version of Idol: Jakten på en superstjerne. She has been the featured vocalist on various worldwide acclaimed DJs' records, including Sigma, Steve Aoki, "Breathe" by Jax Jones and the Martin Solveig song "Places".

In June 2017, she signed a record deal with Simon Cowell's Syco Music label.
