If there’s one thing that Ricki-Lee is known for, it’s not only her incredible vocals that can blow any of her pop competitors out of the water, but also for her endearing soul which people gravitate towards.

In Ricki’s own words “I just wanted to write a song that makes people smile and feel good. Now, this is where I am – and everyone can have that. You just have to value yourself enough to know you deserve that. And once you’re on that ride, there’s no turning back.”
