Биография

Fast rising star and South African singer-songwriter, Filipa, first burst onto the music scene in 2014 after winning an international Ryan Seacrest cover competition. Her haunting rendition of One Direction’s Story of My Life shot her to instant stardom and provided a global platform to release her own debut single Chills on RyanSeacrest.com. Following this success, Filipa released Little White Lie in 2016, which quickly climbed the iTunes and South African radio charts, including within the top five on 5FM and Jacaranda FM. With deep and personal messages in all of her lyrics, Filipa continues to touch hearts and minds with her music and talent. In recognition of this, she was honoured with Glamour’s Next Big Thing at the Women of the Year Awards in 2014, as well as a Cosmo Awesome Women Nomination. Filipa has spent much of her time, since 2014, working with songwriters and producers in South Africa and the US, including Grammy-Award winning songwriter Pam Sheyne (best known for Christiana Aguilera’s global hit, “Genie in a Bottle”), who she collaborated with for the hit single, Little White Lie. She has also been developing her own unique sound, as well as pushing her musical boundaries to grow as an artist, while studying online towards a BA degree in the Liberal Arts.
