Monday Music | Watch My Ting Go by Lola Rae

Last week's idle web surfing brought me to this fun video from Lola Rae. Check it out below then keep reading to learn more about the Nigerian/Ghanian/British singer. It's been on repeat since last week. What do you think?

Rachel Funmilola Garton aka “Lola Rae”, a 21 year-old British singer of Nigerian/Ghanian and British Heritage with high aspirations combined with a great amount of talent and potential to match. Lola Rae garnered national recognition as a dancer in the Street dance group “Myztikal” that competed in (GWI Street dance champions 2008 U18 Champions). It wasn’t until Myztikal auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent in 2010 when her singing prowess was brought to the stage, with Simon Cowell singling her out at both the audition and semi-final stage that Lola Rae began to believe her dreams could become reality. Since then, rather than go down the conventional route to XFactor– where an option had been offered to Rachel by Syco for an audition, she instead decided that she’d greater benefit from finding herself as an artist and deciding what she wanted to be, as opposed to a mould being created for her.
