Louise then went on to explore other avenues and lent her vocal chords, songs and production to the dance arena, doing live performances with some of the hottest underground DJ’s.
  • 'My Reality' [first single of the EP], reached 10th position on 5fm Top 40.
  • The R&B/Pop track, "Looking around" was placed on high rotation on several other leading radio stations.
  • In 2002 Louise released her single 'Words Don’t Mean A Thing', in which she wrote, sang, arranged and co-produced the music. It was instantly picked up by all major radio stations [no. 11 on 5fm Top 40, high rotation on R&B stations] and has proved popular ever since.

Louise in the UK
She wrote and sang the song "Play the Game" with Kenny Hawkes. Already doing well on the club circuit and in the media and charts, the single hit the number 1 spot on the Belgium National Dance charts. With single sales doing so well, 2 remixes were released in 2003 - Phil Weeks remix & Stefan Goldmann remix. The artwork for ‘Play the Game’ has become a classic collector’s item for vinyl fanatics. Their forthcoming collaboration, "String Me Along" will be released next year.
International interest from major labels has been a spin off from this first single, which resulted in a one-project deal with Sony/ Illustrious UK. Louise wrote, sang and vocally produced the song "I'd Say Yes" over the instrumental, Pornorama 'Leliwa'. Licensed to South Africa, it reached the no.1 spot on the 5fm Top 40 charts.

Sponsorship Deals:
  • 2002 - Guess sponsorship deal for 1 yr.
  • 2004 - Levi’s Strauss currently sponsor Louise [Levi’s Original Artist.]

Forthcoming Album - 'Silent Scream'
Interest in Louise has been growing whilst she has spent much of the last three years working on her new album, ‘Silent Scream’. Production took place over two countries, with Louise writing and producing her vocals in Cape Town at Silver Tulip Music, and with UK mega producer, Lindsay Edwards doing the music production in England. Other well-known musicians who contributed to ‘Silent Scream’ include the Moody Blues drummer, Gordon Marshall, who hopes to be involved with the album at a later stage.

Throughout this self- written album, Louise displays a remarkable and unique talent combining a blend of folksy rock and catchy pop. Already having one of the tracks licensed on the International Universal compilation, "Lounging", and another on ‘The Hits Volume 12’, Louise looks set to have a very successful 2005.

‘Silent Scream’ was released in South Africa on 14 February 2005.
The first single off her album, ‘Empty Fantasy’, is recently reached # 1 on the 5FM Top 40.
