I’m looking forward to performing to a new audience at the MTN Bushfire Festival. I’m also looking forward to listening to great music and being surrounded by friends and festivalgoers. Although I’ve never attended the festival, I’ve only heard great things about it.

My bucket list includes learning more about my craft, travelling to new parts of the world as well as creating and experiencing all that life has to offer.

My ideal guest list for a dinner party would be Letta Mbulu, Dorothy Ashby, Alice Coltrane, Miriam Makeba and a small group of my dearest friends.

My greatest indulgence is crystals and Lush Body products.
