Ferdinand and I have been assisting a beautiful, young and talented emerging South African artist named LiiLa to launch her debut album #LosDans. Prior to the album launch we released the music video for the title song #LosDans and it reached an amazing 2000 views in just 24 hours!
It was soooo much fun to shoot this video for LiiLa and as always a pleasure to work with PhotoElements' Eben Liebenberg filming, RMANN Films' Hermann Winter-Greyling editing and hubby Ferdinand Gernandt from FADCreationS conceptualising and directing.
Now at over 3000 views, check it out for yourself below.. It will make you want to get up and get 'jiggy' with it!
We held a wonderfully attended and successful album launch at the Brooklyn Theatre on 12 September, where LiiLa was supported on stage by her three gorgeous dancers, Mongene Stoffberg, Shani Spelt and Mia Uys as well as the handsome and ever entertaining emcee Marco Spaumer. She looked beautiful and at 13 years of age wowed the audience with her vocal prowess and performance.
Also joining her on stage was the delightful team from Follicle Hair Atelier's Follicle On The Move team who styled LiiLa's hair and makeup with magical transitions onstage whilst Marco kept us all engaged and enchanted.
LiiLa's debut album was excellenty produced by Frans and Marlee van der Merwe as well as Alron Matthews and Herman Steyn.
AAAAAAND it is now available on iTunes! Just search for #LosDans the album!
Fresh off of her #LosDans album release LiiLa performed at the Heart of Midstream event, opening for the likes of the popular artists Bobby van Jaarsveld (photographed with LiiLa below) and Karlien van Jaarsveld.
The next event we are planning together is 'LiiLa and Friends' on the 16th of October at the Live Arts Little Theatre (LALT) in Boksburg. It is going to be a fabulously fun collaboration and variety evening between LiiLa and other FADlings Armand Joubert, Kristen Raath, Teneal Brown, Elske Swart and Daniah de Villiers.
We would love to see all of you there!!
