Jody-Ann touched the hearts of all the folk who were present by playing the many musical instruments and singing. Read her interesƟng story below: Jody-Ann was born on 27 June 1980 - blind - as a result of severe brain damage. Her biological parents were divorced when she was one year old.

The turning point in Jody-Ann's life came about when, at the age of eight, she entered into the lives of the MaƩhee family, and gave her heart to the Lord. She was blessed with such above average intelligence and memory that she was able to memorize approximately 200 Bible verses over a period of Ɵme. She started to grow again - an amazing 7.4 cenƟmetres with her foster parents. She also went on to learn ALL the Braille abbreviaƟons (in English and Afrikaans) in ONE year - something that normally takes three to four years. At the same Ɵme Jody-Ann's wonderful musical talent was discovered and developed. She has brought home numerous Gold, A++, and A cerƟficates when compeƟng in talent compeƟƟons - in both classical and light music. Currently she plays 21 musical instruments and writes her own lyrics and music. She has made six albums, one of which is a piano album, and eight of the twelve items being her own composiƟons.
