The song, produced by Adrian Tate, a former Soul Africa group member, is already making waves internationally, receiving airplay on United Kingdom’s Radio City FM and Atlanta Radio.
In an interview with NewsDay Weekender, ahead of the release of the song’s accompanying video tonight at NewsCafe, Sam Levy’s Village in Borrowdale, the 18-year-old artiste, said the release of the song and video marks the beginning of her professional music career.
“The song No More is about getting over a heartbreak. I was stirred to compose the track as it talks about my personal experience,” she said.
“I started music at the age of nine as a hobby, but I have since discovered my talent and have turned it into a career.
“Although I formed a band called BETA at the Hellenic Academy in 2009, I only managed to release my professional song this year.”
The former Dominican Convent pupil, who draws her inspiration from American singer, Madilyn Bailey, said she has invested in the production of the video to bring international flare into her work.
