Cole is not only a great singer but an accomplished TV presenter.

As a songwriter she has written many songs including the number one Afrikaans hit (East Rand stereo), ‘Daai tipe meisie’, ‘The Human Rights song’, ‘Heartless’ (The Anti-Rhino Poaching song) and ‘Tears with champagne’ which reached the top 20 in the World Song Contest in 2006.

Six of the songs on her first Afrikaans album, ‘Dink aan my’, was on display at the Fan Stand at Eurovision 2011 in Dusseldorf, which gained her many international fans.  In 2012 she was selected by Eurovisionary, amongst only 4 other groups in Africa, to enter to represent Netherlands and Norway in The Eurovision 2012 contest.

She went quite far (but did not quite reach her goal of representing a country, which she believes she will continue to strive for), which gave her lots of international exposure in articles and on radio. She did however get the part of one of the presenters in the Eurovision 2^nd Chance competition which will be broadcasted in about 50 countries.
