Music

Lesley Rae Dowling was discovered in Stellenbosch in 1980 by artist manager Paddy Lee Thorpe. She released her first single and album in 1981. Many of her albums have been produced and co-written by Tully McCully. Her music has won many South African music awards, including various Sarie awards, several SAMA awards, 3M Scotty awards, and an FNB SAMA award.
She declined the opportunity in the early 1980s to go international, as the cultural boycott of South Africa during the late apartheid era meant she would need to live in Ireland for six months a year, something she was not prepared to do.
She has a well-known love/hate relationship with the music industry, and has never been comfortable with public performances. She lives on her farm, "De Groote Zalze" near Stellenbosch.
