Trying to find the :street singer" who was intervied by e.news a few months agao, and since has been on the programme "against all odds"

I would ike to have his name, and also the name of the lady at e.news who helped in arranging his interview.

I am the lady who noticed him in Sea Point, and contacted, E news, plus further contacts.

I have since heard that he will be going abroad, for voice training, and would love to be in touch with him and have his photograph,
I do predict a very bright future for him, his voice is acknowledged as one of a high calibre, which I recognised.

hopefully I wil receive some acknowledgement, as I have t ried, leaving many messages at the desk of, E.News, with no success

My name is 
Celia Gilaad
