She has gained multiple singing performances including National Anthem performances for the University of Alabama and Texas A&M's sporting events, and for the National Basketball Association (NBA) where she opened for the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers game during their regular season and later invited back twice for the Utah Jazz's playoff season of 2021.

Gospel music historian and columnist Robert M. Marovich of the Journal of Gospel music describes "Gospel singer Latisha Johnson Montgomery’s high notes evoke the crackly rawness of Jennifer Hudson. I wouldn’t be surprised if Montgomery finds inspiration in Hudson’s singing, as the latter’s sometimes gruff delivery, along with electronic swagger drawn from pop, R&B, and hip hop, dominate Issues of My Heart."

Montgomery continues to pursue her dreams and continues to seek guidance from Jesus Christ as her music journey goes higher and higher.
