China’s stage and the R&B singer-songwriter says the reception since the show aired has been overwhelming.‘This is a historic moment, for me, for China, for South Africa, for the world. And it’s one I’m so honoured to be a part of.
‘Thank you to my team here in China of over 20 people who work so hard to make sure I succeed. Thank you for helping me iron out my Mandarin chops and giving me so much courage! I love you all so much. Thank you to my team in SA for holding me down and supporting me. To my team in the USA for actively making sure my interests are taken care of while I’m away… thank you! Biggest Thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I have absolutely no words.
She shared the clip of her first performance, noting that she sang a song which she has loved for years, translated to ‘love’. ‘Honestly, I was very nervous. But I kept thinking about what a blessing it is for me to be in this moment… and I’m so glad it worked out absolutely perfectly.’
