Amber Fieldgate to grace the international stage

Talent seems to be the biggest indicator of success in most fields, but talent alone is not enough.

Take Amber Fieldgate for example, the aspiring Sandton-based singer has it all – the looks, character and a voice to match – but without hard work and the right opportunities, talent is easily squandered.

Amber learnt this lesson at a very young age, not only taking the time to perfect her talent but actively chasing her dreams. Using South Africa as a training ground to develop her skills, she’s held a lifelong dream of becoming an internationally-acclaimed singer, and will be taking her first step towards realising this dream in June.

Scouted by international talent scout, Kim Myers, the rising star has been selected to represent South Africa at the Applause Rising Talent Showcase (ARTS) in Orlando, Florida. Here, she will get to rub shoulders with top industry experts and scouts from all around the world.

Fieldgate said, “The ARTS is a huge challenge for me but something I have looked forward to my entire life. I feel like it is just the beginning and an excellent learning experience as it allows me to test myself and see just what I’m made of. I hope to gain experience and confidence through this adventure.”

ARTS is an international talent platform, offering exposure to faraway countries such as South Africa, Australia and throughout North America. They unite agencies looking for the brightest and best new talent, worldwide, with a state-of-the-art experience on a Hollywood set and Broadway-style stage.

Many compare their ARTS experience to a career day that lasts for an entire week, centered around the world of fashion and performing arts.
