In 2009, she formed the group Debby Nasution & The Morik Band with new personnel. In 2018, Debby Nasution took her last breath while giving a lecture at Masjid Al Ikhlas, Cipete, South Tangerang.

Throughout her life, Debby Nasution always created hit songs, such as 'Cintaku', 'Pelangi', and 'Semusim'. Then there is the song 'Angin Malam' sung by the late Chrisye, as well as the album 'Badai Pasti Berlalu' before Debby decided to migrate and preach.
