In 2018, Tracy embarked on her “H3artifacts” EP Trilogy Tour that consisted of shows in California, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. She was selected by Roger Smith of the legendary group Tower of Power to perform at his private wine pick-up party for his company Bump City Wine Co.

She continues to tour and record as well as remaining a strong presence in her community, working with local youth as a vocal coach and mentor (Tracy Cruz Vocal Studio). She encourages them to follow their dreams to sing freely and wholeheartedly.

She has released her EP trilogy (H3artifacts, Art of Facts, Purple H3artifacts) which includes the single "Keep Our Soul Alive", produced by Detroit-based, multi-talented, Grammy Award-nominated producer Brandon Williams, and “My H3art Says to You” which features her band “Instrumentali-T”.
