The International Arts Talent Showcase (IATS) has once again been a stepping stone for another two aspiring musicians to find their feet. Lucrecia Rae has been singing ever since she can remember, and Gino Lee is also no stranger to the local and international music industry.

Rae studied performing arts at Northlink College, but it was not until she took part in IATS that the vocalist began to find her feet. Lee wears many hats as a singer, actor, music producer, and model.

He is a New York Film Academy alumnus who has performed at numerous New York venues, including The Bitter End and the Apollo Theatre. He went on to work as a producer at Skylight Studios in Los Angeles, before returning home to open his recording studio, River Road Records, in his hometown of Gqeberha.

Rae and Lee met through IATS producer Elsubie Verlinden, hit it off and started to create magic in the studio. The two created a summer hit together named “Rendezvous”. According to the duo, the song is about spending quality time with the people you love.

‘Rendezvous’ is a tribute to the special times you share with your person and the things that remind you of the love you share. For example, a song that you share or pictures you cherish,” they said. Lee added, “We wanted to make an infectious old-school pop track that tapped into that summer love feeling.”

Rae explained that they both did their best. “We both did our part. We were always well prepared for the Zoom sessions, which helped the process run smoothly. We hope that people will find their attachment to this track, and have it be the soundtrack to an epic summer,” she concluded.
