One of the greatest gifts a human has, is the ability to create music. Just being able to sing a cappella, or pick up a guitar and strum some tunes, is a talent gifted to so few.

Anne-Marie Smuts, always had a burning desire to make music, share her vibes with the world and play to large crowds.

However, life had other ideas and that little fire burning in her tummy had to wait many years to finally get ignited!

I’m always so impressed by the resilience of people, especially children. Anne-Marie, had a seriously tough childhood which started when her Dad had a serious car accident. From there, their lifestyle began to degrade.

Fortunately, the South African spirit in her, means that she is a fighter!

These days, her music career is ready to take off, and her beautiful voice is a gift to uplift us and encourage the weary.

Like two buddies having a conversation. This was special!
