Prentice sings hits

She was visiting India in 1995 to see the organisation’s work first hand when she heard she had received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in the Queen’s
Birthday Honours for services to music.
She was also awarded the NZ Entertainer of the Year in 1984.
Prentice’s music career started her early – she won a talent quest at the age of 12.
She released her first country music album and two years later won the Australasian Country Music Awards Golden Guitar Award at the age of just 14.
Her first gospel album One Day at a Time went platinum in only two weeks and her next album When I Dream went platinum in just 10 days.
She has recorded TV specials in New Zealand and Australia and performed to the Queen and Prince Phillip.
The Brain Injury Association provides support for people living with a brain injury. Every day 90 New Zealander’s sustain a brain injury.
