This year’s winner of the Rodney Live talent quest has been invited to sing at Coca Cola’s 2008 Christmas in the Park.
Lou Collier, who has been described as one of the most talented artists to emerge from Rodney in recent years, was one of 15 soloists chosen to sing from around 500 applicants throughout the Auckland region.
She is expected to sing in front of about 100,000 people in the December 13 concert. But is undaunted by the prospect.
“Just a little nervous,” she says.
Her song will be a New Zealand Christmas carol called Te Harinui.
Lou won the Rodney Live talent quest against some top-line talent, and the Rodney District Council’s arts advisor Cath O’Brian says there could be more still out there. The council, which is a co-organisor with REAL Music, is currently making plans for the 2009 quest.
