In 1996, Locke started an acoustic duo called The Velvet Janes with Rose Farrow. They have released four albums on Locke's record label, Passionfruit Produce, selling 80,000 copies to date[citation needed].
Locke moved to the USA in March 2000 after touring back and forth between Australia and the US so much that she decided to make the move. Believing that The Velvet Janes would continue as a group and go on to bigger and better things with the move, she worked for the next four years booking tours and opportunities for The Velvet Janes to perform. When home commitments for Farrow and struggles maintaining a touring schedule with so much distance between the two took its toll, The Velvet Janes decided to take a hiatus.
In 2004, Locke released her first mainstream solo CD titled Fly and begun touring the US solo. Recording a solo CD every two years since, she has continued to be a prolific writer and artist and continues to tour and release her music independently.
Now a successful realtor, she resides in Indianapolis, IN with her wife Jamie, two kids who are now off on their own, two dogs and two cats.
