I have had such a short career but already have done major gigs with well-known artists and I have won a number of awards, something I did not expect to see happening in such a short period. I am humbled and I have a lot more to do,” she said.

Most of these discussions have been successful and you can expect fresh new releases soon. I have a new offering ready to hit the market. My album is being mastered, by DJ Kboz and it will be released early next year. I am doing my best to be a Namibian Ambassador, through music. I have singles that I will drop in November and a few in December. My fans can also expect podcasts, radio and school tours and a lot of innovative entertainment shows in 2023,” she said
