Everyone has their own life stories and difficulties. For Sylvie Chibiliti her story begins as a young Zambian girl living in Botswana, Africa. As a child, she lived with her mother, father, and younger brother. At the age of 10, she suffered a great loss by losing her father. Nothing in the world could prepare her for what was to come. Exactly 10 months after losing her father, Sylvie's mother also passed away. Torn by the tragedy, her and her brother were sent to America, to a Children's home which as originally founded as an orphanage. Being separated from her brother, Sylvie attempted to remain strong by letting music be her outlet to release her pain.
After returning back to her homeland; with small hope of becoming a singer, she was faced with discouragement and disappointment from those who loved her. At the young age of 17, she returned back to the United States involuntarily. She kept strong by having hopes of becoming a star.Shortly after moving to the States she appeared on Simon Cowells’ hit show American Idol Season II, gaining a place as far as America’s choice in the top 32. Now working on an album for the first time, she continues to come up with new material. Her music is inspired by life and the people she has met, as well as the feelings she bears.
With all of her tribulations, many would come to reason that this would hinder her spirits, weaken her dreams, but on the contrary. She has not always had the support many in this profession do, but she has the natural drive and ability to succeed above the odds that have worked against her. She continues to carry her bright light in this world, a true talent with a passion you can feel in her voice; one that sings and inspires many.
