GUYS!
I can finally announce that your South African girl has a MAJOR GLOBAL RECORD DEAL 😶🤪.
When I sang the words to Getting Late for the first time, I never imagined it would become the song that made my dreams come true. I am so proud to finally reveal that I am now signed to Sony’s Epic records USA @epicrecords@sonymusic
Representing my roots as a South African in the international industry is very important to me.
With other African creatives, I wanna bring Africa to the world and the world to Africa.
I’m super excited for this journey and I wanna thank each and every one of you for supporting and helping me reach this unbelievable opportunity.
I love you guys for real.💕🐅
