Angela de Klerk is a musician. She started singing for Japan and I as a teenager after a successful night of karaoke and hasn't looked back. Since then, she's been a part of the folk-punk collective Rambling Bones and the jazz duo West of the Moon. Oh, and she just got back from a European tour with The Shabs. Unfortunately, being a life-long musician in South Africa isn't exactly a recipe for financial stability, so Angela made the daunting choice of becoming a yacht stewardess in her 30s to...
