The next superstar?

SHANNON Gaitz, the winner of The AJN‘s Ghetto Blasterz competition, delighted the crowd at Sydney’s first large-scale Jewish music festival, Shir Madness, on Sunday.

Her bold and passionate performance at the festival, which attracted more than 2,000 people, was the highlight of her fledgling music career so far.

Gaitz, who describes her music as country pop, was thrilled to have her name and songs recognised at Bondi Beach inaugural event.

“It was a huge opportunity to get performance experience, especially singing my own original songs,” Gaitz said.
