Tell us about your involvement with BlackBerry Urban Tours.

I was the tour guide for the Jo’burg launch of the Urban Tours application for BlackBerry smartphones. So I basically lead the tour around Jozi.

Do you actually own a BlackBerry?

Yes, I have a BlackBerry Curve 8900 and it is life changing. I am now able to respond immediately to mails and work related issues. During Idols I would receive my script via email the evening before the show and lie in bed, learning the script from my BlackBerry. I love that it’s small, compact and lightweight and fits into the back pocket of my jeans.

What’s next now after Idols?

There are a lot of things on the table after Idols. I am currently busy writing a movie, and I am also a presenter on Jacaranda 94.2, so life has been very busy. I might even look at becoming a tour guide after my stint as the tour guide for the BlackBerry Urban Tours launch.

What do you like to do most when you’re home alone?

I like to watch music DVDs on my home entertainment system. Currently I am watching Jack Johnson and Friends: A weekend at the Greek.

A good house must include …

A microwave and a home entertainment system.

Tell us about your home entertainment set-up.

I have a Sony Bravia TV and Sony DCS-DDW7000H Home Theatre System. I am also a gaming fanatic, owning both an XBOX 360 and a pink Nintendo DS.

Do you own an iPod and what are you listening to?

Yes, currently I am listening to Ben Harper’s Live at the Apollo album.

What would you call the most important gadget of all time?

A BLACKBERRY!! It has changed my life completely, I hardly ever use my laptop and it doesn’t matter where in the world I am, I’m always accessible for work.
