This was the high point of my day yesterday… I was shaking like a leaf whilst trying to compose myself and introduce myself like an artiste in her own right. That didn’t happen as I ended up gushing out praises on her. This woman(YVONNE CHAKA CHAKA) is my role model, I grew up miming her songs with desire to be like her one day… Now i don start to communicate with her soon a feature or a cover will be in the works! God is truly God!!
