During lockdown, I knew I had to<br />
release [Waiting For Love] because I<br />
was longing for connection and<br />
missing the ones I love<br />
remix. ‘We instantly connected. I<br />
loved his first draft and that was it.’<br />
When a dear friend organised for<br />
Cara’s birthday bash in Berlin to be<br />
filmed as a keepsake, the musician<br />
had other plans. She turned the<br />
footage into the music video for<br />
the remix. ‘A little unplanned fun,<br />
as I thought, ended up as the most<br />
incredible day, sailing, soaking up<br />
the sun and spending time with<br />
some of the people that I love<br />
most… We loved it so much that<br />
we wanted to share our keepsake<br />
with the world!’<br />
Letting her fans – or Frew Crew –<br />
into her world is something Cara<br />
does so effortlessly on Instagram.<br />
‘I just try to share who I am and<br />
what I think is interesting!’ A scroll<br />
through her grid shows all her<br />
favourite things: Music, loved<br />
ones – ‘Family is everything’ – and<br />
horses. Having competed at the<br />
World Equestrian Games three<br />
times – once for vaulting and<br />
twice for showjumping – Cara’s<br />
next aim is the Olympics in 2024.<br />
While she competes on the<br />
European circuit exclusively, she<br />
rides with her mum at Steyn City<br />
when she’s home, and she’s always<br />
keeping riding fit – she loves to<br />
do Pilates with her mum in SA and<br />
enjoys CrossFit in London. ‘When I<br />
am travelling, I am not so good at<br />
getting to the gym, but I balance<br />
that challenge out by eating really<br />
healthily.’ She’s never looked back<br />
since adopting a plant-based diet<br />
10 years ago.<br />
After an ‘interesting’ 2020, this year,<br />
Cara’s heart is set on new music<br />
and more releases – mid-year, she<br />
plans to drop an EP – as well as<br />
‘horses, family, friends, good health<br />
and happiness’. With Cara’s track<br />
record, she’s bound to achieve all<br />
these dreams. And probably so<br />
many more.<br />
