This 20-year-old from the small town of Hoopstad in the Free State might be studying at the moment but it’s definitely the “back-up” and not the dream! Carmen is a massive fan of Country music noting that the story-telling is always on point. Her mom is also a huge inspiration after managing to hold the family together and teach her children to see the silver lining in every situation following their father’s passing. With Music being a healing force in her own life, Carmen now hopes to extend this to others with her own gift.
