Her father was a school principal, and her mother was a teacher.[4] Despite growing up during the Apartheid era, she has stated that her background was not a disadvantaged one.[5] As a child, when a local music school would not admit her because of her colour, her father bought her a piano and hired a teacher.[5] She also took ballet and tennis classes.[5]
