Wanita has led a turbulent life. She’s renowned as much for her monumental stage presence, exceptional vocal capacity and her deep connection with traditional Country music, as she is her torrid mood swings. The latter are inevitably brought on by people who display laziness, incompetence, racism, prejudice or dishonesty, as Wanita also genuinely cares about people.

 She’s given away precious funds and in fact, everything but the shirt off of her back to the homeless, both here and overseas and often puts on spontaneous performances for the down and out. “I genuinely see myself as an advocate for the underdog”, says Wanita. “My songs are mainly messages of self-affirmation, but they’re also messages for anyone willing to listen. Integrity is everything to me, so I aim to be a spokesperson for truth.”

As described at allmusic.com, “Honky Tonk is the one sound most associated with Country music, birthed in America’s rowdy Southern State bars that share the same name. It's become an enduring staple… the style to which mainstream Country inevitably returns time and time again to refresh itself.” And it’s the sound that captured Wanita from an early age.

Her favourite artists were, and still remain, legends like Loretta Lyn, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Kitty Wells, Ernest Tubb, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson, to name a few.
