Happy began performing on many stages. She sang at local festivals and weddings. She even performed as a sinden (a traditional Javanese singer) in wayang kulit (shadow puppet) shows.

In 2013, Happy Asmara signed a contract with a local music company. A few years later, she joined several dangdut music groups in East Java. Her first song, "Sayang 4", was released on January 1, 2014. During this time, Happy also sang for a local indie band in Kediri. She even performed as a rock singer with a punk style!

In 2016, while still in high school, Happy Asmara tried out for D'Academy. This is a popular TV show where people compete to be the best dangdut singer. Her parents supported her audition in Surabaya.

During the audition, Happy sang parts of the song "Sayang". Famous judges like Dewi Persik were there. Happy did well and received a "golden ticket" from Dewi Persik.

Because of this, she did not go to the next round.
