While studying cabaret at the Toneelschool in Antwerp, she found a way to bring language and music together in her own way. After her studies, she registered for the Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival, where she won the jury prize in 2016 with her performance 'Pieletje'. And in April 2018 she was in the finals of the Amsterdams Kleinkunst Festival with her new performance 'What is there to win'. She is accompanied by her brother Lars Visscher, who masterfully masters both the piano and the accordion.

The jury of the GSCF compared her to Katinka Polderman and called her performance 'carefully constructed, intense and moving'. The jury of the AKF praised Selma for her 'poetic songs, subtle themes and daring concept'.
