Her excellence is further underscored by securing two SXSW Music Video Awards wins in 2022 and a distinguished UK Music Video Award nomination for international pop music video of the year, sharing that nomination slot with the likes of Lil Nas X , Rosalia and more. 

 

Desirée is a Keychange alumni, being a part of the 2023 Keychange cohort, she spent a year getting connected with like minded change makers within the European market.  Desirée’s musical influence reverberates far and wide, with her songs  “Cup Of Tea” and "I Am Blessed” which have been achieving viral acclaim on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, engaging audiences across the globe.
