“I’m still in the beginning stages but rapidly flourishing,� she continued. “I plan to be a Grammy Award Winning artist spreading a message of love and inner strength and eventually getting involved in fighting world poverty with music and a bit more close to home I would like to establish an accredited school of the Arts in Trinidad and Tobago.�

Where She’s At: “Life is a challenge. It’s up to us to be wide and follow our inner gifts which God has already placed in us to make provision for us to live purposefully,� Giel says, on dealing with obstacles. “The music industry is no easy ride.

I am a big fan of Tracy Evoy perfume, Burberry eau de toilette, Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue and Lacoste.�
