Many were introduced to the Ndlovu Youth Choir during their incredible run on America's Got Talent in 2019, but some got to know the energetic young group when they put their own twist to Ed Sheeran's hit song 'Shape Of You.' After the incredible success of the choir, Darren wanted to know more about the collaboration between the ensemble and Netflix, amoung some of their collaborations.
Ralf Schmitt, the choirmaster, tells Darren that lockdown has been difficult but they had to be innovative.
"We transformed our rehearsal venue into a green screen studio. So we've been doing shows and virtual shows, and we placed the choir onto different stages ad producing content.
"We've actually been busier than we thought we would be. it's been crazy actually."
