I know her well .
.
When I was in Paris the last time, in August, she asked me if she could do the Star Academy, take part in this competition.
I contacted God and received a positive response for her.
And that's why she accepted.
She was afraid that God did not want her to participate in this competition… I am very proud of what she has done
”
“
I already followed her on social networks before she participated in the Star Academy
”, explains Jaël Ranimbonantsoa, singing teacher in several music schools in the capital.
“
Anisha, when you see her, she's kind of shy, but when she sings, the emotion she shares, let's say she touches the audience right away.
This is his strong point.
She manages to live the lyrics… There are several of her songs that I will show the students.
It will really inspire them

Later, I would like to be a superstar.
To be a singer.
I would like to be like her…
