Rikki’s piercing blue eyes, long raven-black hair, and enchanting smile will instantly mesmerise you. Equally head-spinning is her list of accomplishments and impressive CV. She has co-presented a show with the legendary Top Gear team; played many prestigious DJ gigs; drummed up a storm in popular South African bands; created her own band, Chix with Stix; had her own radio show; and crafted a successful career as a marketing expert and lecturer! Rikki has also appeared in numerous music videos and commercials; she was picked as one of the three lead cast members in an international TV series; played the lead role in the SA-made movie Eternity, and has appeared in several South African soaps, including Isidingo, 7de Laan, and Generations. To top it off, this driven busy-bee knows her cars – the faster the better – and has shone in several television shows, such as Petrolheads.

Quirky Facts

• Rikki completed a BA in Marketing at UJ and developed a marketing syllabus geared towards the entertainment industry. 
• She opened the Beat that Drum School to teach the drum syllabus she created, and lectures her marketing syllabus to third-year students at the Academy of Sound Engineering.
• She is no typical girly girl. She would rather be on the racetrack or go drifting or drag racing than spend hours on her make-up or nails.
