My new single "Trouble", from my soon to be released debut EP, Digital Love Letters premiered this week on FBi Radio and COMPLEX. Listen below!

The cast of Dreamgirls was invited to perform a condensed version of the entire show at the star studded charity event of the year in Melbourne's Grand Hyatt Hotel.

We had the incredible oppotunity to sing onstage with none other than Hugh Jackman himself, and we were blessed to have beautiful images captured below.

Huge thank you to StageArt and Trumpet events for making this possible!

We've been in the studio putting together 3 and a half years of blood sweat and tears. So excited to unleash my baby into the world. But until then, here are some behind the scenes pictures of the recording process.

"In an extraordinary stage debut, Thando Sikwila is perfectly cast as Effie White, the troubled young woman whose natural talent is undermined by paranoia, both valid and unfounded. Sikwila captures Effie’s diva-like surly petulance as well as her doll-like sweetness when things go her way. Act one builds to all-time classic torch song “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” and Sikwila brings down the house, with resounding applause lasting through the next song all the way to the interval break."

- Simon Parris

"Thando embodies the sassy bravado and egotism of Effie White, the vocal powerhouse of fictional 1960s, all-girl trio, The Dreamettes, and she justifies O’Connell’s casting of an acting novice.."

- Kate Herbert

"The cast was superb. Effie White is a notoriously difficult character to handle with her bossy demeanour, diva-like presence and huge vocal range; Thando Sikwila blew the audience away and received a standing ovation to prove it."

- Amy Planner

I sat down to have a chat with Stephanie about my new single, and plans for the rest of the year. Check out the interview below, and visit Stephanie's blog here.
