Paxton

Paxton Fielies is one of South Africa’s finest pop voices. Born in Bishop Lavis in Cape Town in the year 2000, the singer has been building a reputation since winning Idols SA’s 13th season in 2017. Her love for singing started in church where she sang in the choir.

Paxton released her first single, “Demonstrate”, in 2017 towards the end of the Idols SA season. In the same year, she performed at the popular festive season-welcoming Cape Town Festival of Lights.

In 2018, she released chart-toppers such as “Smother”, a collaboration with The Voice winner Craig Lucas and her debut album, This Is Me, which she co-wrote.

The project came with the hit single “Angifuni” and saw her making appearances on various TV and radio shows and performing at multiple festivals. She got to travel different parts of the globe such as Sweden as part of The World Children’s Prize foundation where she received an ambassadorship from Queen Silva; Russia for the White Nights of St Petersburg festival where she shared the stage with the likes of Seal, Kool & The Gang and Sophie Eliis-Bextor.

During the hard lockdown of 2020, which was due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Paxton didn’t slow down, as she collaborated with Cape Town electronic music producer Jayden Lewis for the single ‘good company’, a dancefloor packer in which she sang about the importance of surrounding oneself with great people. The song was a smashing success as it was on heavy rotation on multiple national radio stations.
