Kirby claimed that Sega offered to pay her US$16,000 to license her name, image and songs for the game, though she rejected its offer. Kirby alleged that the video game maker later used her resemblance anyway (including the name Ulala – referencing Kirby's signature phrase "Ooh la la" in her recorded and live performances), at which point she initiated the lawsuit. She ultimately lost the suit.

In 1996, a remix album was released. A greatest hits album was released in 2001.

Deee-lite disbanded in 1995 after Brill and Kirby's relationship fractured.

In 1992, the band released their second album, Infinity Within, a politically charged work. Their third album Dewdrops in the Garden was released in 1994 and was composed of pseudo-rave instrumentals or witty, funky showcases for Lady Kier's rich vocals. Neither of the two follow-up albums matched the commercial success of the debut album. The second and third albums were hampered by difficulties with the label, which refused to promote, support touring, or fund contractual videos.

She is a supporter of the environmental movement. The 1992 Deee-Lite album "Infinity Within" was the first CD released using eco-pak packaging, cutting the amount of plastic used by half.

Vogue Magazine has highlighted her "interest in supporting environmental causes".

Her music video for the song "Vote Baby Vote", which she wrote "to get people interested in voting so they could vote George Bush out", was featured for MTV's "Rock The Vote" in 1992 and was highlighted by Rolling Stone as one of the top "ten major moments in rock the vote history".

Deee-Lite's sound was a mix of house music, techno and electronic dance music. Deee-Lite shot to stardom in 1990 with the release of their first album World Clique and the hit "Groove Is in the Heart". At the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, Deee-Lite was nominated for several awards, including Video of the Year, Best Dance Video, Best New Artist, Best Breakthrough Video, and Best Editing in a Video.

Shortly after their first show in 1986, Brill was introduced to Towa Tei, a Japan-raised Korean DJ who Kirby and Brill invited to join the band several years later. Combining Kirby's vocal and writing talents with Brill's sampling skills and Tei's techno mixing, the three formed the band Deee-Lite. They had performances every month, with Kier designing new costumes for each one. She continued to do go-go dancing at Bentleys and The Copacabana until the band signed a seven-album deal with Elektra Records.

In 1982, Kirby met Ukrainian-born Dmitry Brill ("Supa DJ Dmitry") to whom she sold silver platform boots and a glitter blue spacesuit, for his band, Shazork. In 1986, she began experimenting with singing and writing music with Brill, forming the band Deee-Lite.

She was the vocalist for the band Deee-Lite, followed by a career as a disc jockey and solo songwriter. She has taken several undertakings in support of LGBTQ rights, women's rights, human rights, the environmental movement, the anti-war movement, and the get out the vote movement.

Kirby was very involved in the band's output: writing, producing, and performing the bulk of the band's songs. Known as much for their outrageous personae and costumes as for their music, the three took on larger-than-life alter-egos: Super DJ Dmitri, Jungle DJ Towa Towa, and Lady Miss Kier. Kirby is credited with designing and creating the look of the band, as well as much of the artwork accompanying the band's albums and marketing material. Her initial look relied on revamped and exaggerated retro style 1960s fashion. Her signature look was a zip-up catsuit, platform shoes and flipped hair-do.
