My international career is finally taking off‚ a part of my dream that has now been realised. I’m excited to perform at all of the show’s I’m booked at.

They are doing such kick ass moves that it’s hard for anyone to ignore what our country has to offer‚ the doors are open for all of us‚ let’s push!”..
