Paxton Fielies 

The 17-year-old is the youngest contestant on Idols SA this season and was the first to receive a Golden Ticket during auditions in Cape Town. The teen from Bishop Lavis is a Grade 11 pupil and has the full backing of her family and school when it comes to pursuing her musical dream. Her impressive voice bowled over our judges when she auditioned using Tori Kelly’s “Confetti” -  and she has not disappointed since.
