At the end of the night, the excitement culminated in the announcement of the winner. Kayla Jules was crowned the champion of ‘Crawford’s Got Talent’, a well-deserved recognition for her outstanding performance.

Kayla expressed her surprise at winning, saying, “I was totally surprised when I was announced for the trophy, as there were many incredible acts and performances. I was quite nervous that I’d make a mistake whilst playing my piece, but I’ve been practicing this song for months for my Trinity Rock and Pop Grade 5 drums practical exam, so I was well prepared, despite my anxiety.”

Kayla also offered advice to future performers. “The best advice I can suggest for performers is to not overthink anything. If you think too deeply and put pressure on yourself to play perfectly, you have a higher chance of making an error, in my opinion. Also, if you’re trembling with nerves, just go with it, and play like you’ve never played before.”

Crawford International Fourways created an unforgettable experience that celebrated the incredible abilities of its students, setting the stage for many more talents to come in the future.
