Meet Betty from our Mahurangi holiday programme at Mahurangi Hope Church 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Betty caught our eye as she was such a humble yet talented young girl filled to the brim with enthusiasm and a natural charisma. Betty shared with us that she loves singing but struggles with being too shy to perform in front of others, we think she did such an amazing job as you guys could see from the Vibez Summer Vacation music video!

Big shout out to Betty for really coming out of her shell and showing us the star she is 🌟

Music Video is pinned and available on our YT channel Island Base FM
