At age 12 she won a national singing competition in South-Africa that landed her first recording deal, launching the next six years of casino tours. With a thousand shows under her belt, she then moved to the US to pursue the next chapters in her music story.

Her story chronicles the dramatic and abusive life of a young girl surviving the South-African music industry, of which parts are represented in this new Naxos project “To Be Loved”. Her Music, book and life truly maps a personal journey from “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted” to having an “Extraordinary Life”!
