The choir is currently signed with Simon Cowell's record label, Syco Entertainment, which is a global joint venture together with Sony Music Entertainment Africa.

The choir launched their brand new debut album and it will hit stores and digital platforms on Friday. 

The choir joined Breakfast with Martin Bester to share more about their experience in Hollywood. They also joined the show to perform on Friday Live!

"It has been amazing. Hollywood is so different from Moutse," Rachel (choir member) said.

"We were missing home so much - we missed the food so much. We even saw famous people. Gabrielle Union is my favourite celebrity.

"The live shows were very hectic. It was a big competition. We went there to show our talent - and we did our best."

The choir agreed that the toughest part of this journey was the 'results show.'

THE CHOIR PERFORMED 'AFRICA' ON FRIDAY LIVE!


The choir will be performing at SPAR Carols by Candlelight with Jacaranda FM!
