Despite her success in festivals, Dewi was still unrecognized in the Indonesian music scene. Her debut album, Sweet Heart, was released in 2008 but failed to establish her recording career. She is only recognized by certain communities through her Batak language and religious songs. She released her next pop record, a single entitled "Jejak Luka", under the Nagaswara label in 2010. Dewi quit the label and went back to competition by joining the audition of the U.S. version of The X Factor in 2011. She made it to the bootcamp stage but had to quit the show due to social security.Perjalanan Dewi Marfa Selama di Amerika
In late 2012, Dewi auditioned for the premiere of X Factor Indonesia. She was put through to the Gala Live Show under the Over 26 category and mentored by musician Bebi Romeo. During the show, Dewi was a stable contestant with the most standing ovations from the judges. Anggun once stated that she should have been the rival for the judges, not among the contestants. Dewi advanced to the Grand Final round and finished as the runner-up, with a slight difference in public votes, behind Fatin Shidqia.Perbedaan Tipis Perolehan Voting X Factor Fatin dan Novita
