Popular radio personality and singer Buli G has become the Eastern Cape's darling since making the Top 50 on the 2002 Mnet Idols talent search and going on to host the weekday lunchtime slot on the Eastern Cape's No.1 radio station Algoa FM for the last two years.

Her career spans a decade in which she has performed internationally (Austria, Hungary, Spain and Norway and most recently Mauritius), and landed top entertainment and media assignments. Most notably as producer of the Coega Development Corporation's Corporate video and voice artist narrating for the National Ports Authority and General Motors corporate videos.

As a master of ceremonies she has presented diverse and major events in Port Elizabeth such as the Miss P E 2004 Pageant and the Mayor's Banquet. As a singer, she is spellbinding, and has won numerous local awards including the Best Vocalist Award at the "On the Go Show" Eastern Cape Talent Search. This further adds to her appeal as an MC who is both an entertainer and a qualified Public Relations Practitioner and thus understands the needs of corporate clients. Her most marketable asset, however, is her ability to relate to audiences across all ages, race groups and on all rungs of the corporate ladder. This also makes her a much sought after guest speaker, with engagements such as the University of Port Elizabeth UPEAP Graduation Ceremony and the Women's Day Celebration Luncheon (2003) under her belt. She also speaks 4 South African Languages.

Under the Centrestage umbrella, she has been entrusted with continuity for the "Motown Soul Grooving" and "The Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" shows.
