Having entered Idols SA last year, Neve knew she couldn’t let her final chance to be on the show slip through her fingers. “I felt small last year because people can sing” – she says of falling out in the Theatre Week solo rounds – “but this time I gave my best theatre week”.
The self-described mummy’s girl started singing when she was 7-years-old. By high school, her musician father was her vocal coach, and she would also play with his band. “Where there was music, I was there,” she says.
Musically, she looks up to H.E.R. and season 8’s Shekhinah. She is driven by the people who believe in her and says music itself keeps her going.
Neve hopes Idols SA audiences resonate with her positivity and her never-say-die attitude. We can expect some dance moves with Neve’s live performances, as well as lots of confidence – she’ll be giving her all every time. She says: “The moment I take that stage, I’m somebody else.”
