Mancini

Sulata , Music Video – 1996

from the album Kia Koe (1997)

Yeah, Henry Mancini, it’s true. There’s a sample from one of his tracks and I just thought, Mancini. Everyone said it was too tacky a title, but I didn’t care, I wanted it. But I’ve had a lot of Island people saying "What’s that track Man – seen?"

We’ve got this video of me when I was about five and I’m belting it out at church and to be that confident people must have been telling me I could sing, especially at that age. At that age I was so confident, I wish I had as much now.
