Monique Fiddes performed a great show in front of children at Holy Rood Junior School on 4 June.
A huge star in her native South Africa, building an audience since the age of 15, she has aspirations of breaking into the UK and Europe markets, following her marriage last July to Swindon born martial arts star multi-millionaire Matt Fiddes, the former bodyguard to Michael Jackson.
Now 20 and pregnant with the couple's first baby, Moniqe sang her hit songs in the school hall. Matt attended Holy Rood Juniors where he was bullied. Although he suffered at the time, he turned the experience into a positive one, giving him the motivation to create a world wide martial arts franchise which brought him into contact with a string of celebrities including the King of Pop Michael Jackson.
TV appearances followed and his current celebrity client list including popstar Peter Andre - booked to perform at Swindon's County Ground in July - and former Eastenders actor (Sid Owen) AKA Ricky Butcher.
Moniqe's - Moniqe Foxx before she married - Afrikaans debut album ‘Ek Kan' was released in August 2010 and is currently available at all major music retailer stores. It received rave reviews in the media from top celebrity and industry magazines.
Moniqe has performed at all the big festivals and concert arena’s in South Africa. Her latest release was top of the charts there in February this year.
As well as a singer, Moniqe has become a popular figure on South African television. She co-hosted the hit TV show called Jukebox and was also voted the Citizen newspaper’s ‘Model of the Month.'
Last month she released her new English single ‘Tell me Y' which went to the top of the charts in South Africa.
The music video has been a online hit with other 100k views in just two weeks.
