As a member of I've Sound, she performed many songs which were included as theme songs of TV anime series and videogames. Mami was usually paired up with co-I've member Kotoko when making soundtracks for anime. Examples of these are Onegai Teacher, Onegai Twins, Starship Operators, Shakugan no Shana, Baldr Force EXE Resolution OVA, and Hayate no Gotoku wherein Kotoko will perform the opening theme while Mami will perform the ending theme or vice versa. In 2002, she and Shimamiya grouped themselves as the band "Healing Leaf" and performed some theme songs for visual novel games, but only one song was featured in the I've Girls Compilation, "Ame ni Utau Ballad" (雨に歌う譚詩曲).
Her debut single, "Radiance", released on February 23, 2005, was used as an opening theme for the anime Starship Operators. Her most successful single was "Joint," released on October 31, 2007, and used as the first opening theme for the sequel of the anime series Shakugan no Shana, Shakugan no Shana II. In autumn 2008, Mami Kawada also established her official website together with her official fan club "M.A.L.L.", which stands for "Mami Artist Lasting Live."
Her debut album, "SEED" was released on March 29, 2006 and reached #12 in the Oricon weekly charts, charting for five weeks selling over 25,000 units. Her second album, "SAVIA" was released on March 26, 2008. However, it didn't do well in the Oricon weekly charts (#15) but after less than six months, she had her second live tour for her second album. Her third album, "LINKAGE" was released on March 24, 2010 and ranked #26 in the Oricon weekly charts.
On January 24th, 2016, Kawada announced that she would be retiring from music. Her final concert was held on May 21st, 2016.
On February 3rd, 2018, it was revealed that Kawada had gotten married to I've composer/arranger Tomoyuki Nakazawa, and had given birth to a child during the two years since her retirement.

The lyrics of "Wind and Wander" by Kawada Mami depict a sense of longing, nostalgia, and the passage of time. The first verse talks about the morning wind brushing against the cheeks and sweeping away the hair that hangs on the face. The sound of the shoes on the pavement expresses excitement and readiness to go beyond the usual path. The second verse reflects on a past day where tears were shed because something couldn't be reached. The blurred lines on a notebook page symbolize uncertain thoughts. Time has passed, and the city's colors can now be seen differently, indicating personal growth and change.
The chorus contains a ringing bell, possibly indicating the start of something new. It echoes the desire for an unlimited future for both the singer and the listener. The mention of an angel opening a door to walk towards its other side represents embracing new opportunities. The following lines describe the rising sun, the full moon, and clouds turning into rain, signifying continuous change and natural cycles. The last stanza expresses a sense of loss and searching for something that has been lost. However, with the presence of the listener, there is hope to find what they are looking for.
