A talented teenager has returned from Los Angeles with a handful of awards after taking part in an international singing competition.

Breeze Redwine, from Starston, near Harleston, took part in the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood.

She won four gold and two silver awards, in various categories including pop, original song, variety and country.

The 13-year-old was also named one of the most likely contestants to make it in the music industry.

Jackie Redwine, Breeze's mother, said: 'She had an amazing time and we are so proud of her.

'We were so chuffed she got a silver in country as she was up against the Americans.

'She has made some fantastic memories and she has made life long friends from countries including Germany and Zimbabwe, which was the best bit she said.'
