about
Paxton Fielies (born September 17, 2000), better known simply as Paxton, is a South African singer, songwriter, and aspiring philanthropist. She rose to fame in 2017, after winning the 13th season of Idols South Africa. She is the youngest South African female person to win the title. Since the debut of her first single, "Demonstrate", in November 2017, Paxton collaborated with pop and R&B musician, Craig Lucas, for the duet, Smother, in February 2018.[4] She released her debut studio album, This Is Me, in June 2018, with the songs: "Angifuni", "Where Are You Now" and "Kiss The Haze", in collaboration with R&B/soul artist, Tresor, having been released as singles. In November 2019, she released a non-album single, "No Distractions", in collaboration with House DJ, Dr. Moruti.
Paxton has stated that her mother was the main reason why she decided to audition for Idols South Africa and viewed 2017 as a risk-taking year. "I knew it would be a year of sacrifice. I could concentrate on my education or I could break into the entertainment industry. I couldn't do both. But I also knew that even if I struck gold, I never only want to be just an idols winner. I want to be much more," she told WeekendSpecial in an interview. She was the first person to receive a Golden Ticket in the Cape Town auditions for Idols Season 13 when she auditioned with Tori Kelly's "Confetti."
During the competition's "Theatre Week", her rendition of "American Boy" by Estelle earned her a place among the season's top 16 performers. Some of Paxton's most noted performances on the show include her renditions of "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland, "Careless Whisper" by George Michael, "Side to Side" by Ariana Grande and "Listen" by Beyoncé. She debuted her first single "Demonstrate" on her last competitive performance on the show. Paxton is the youngest person to win Idols since Jody Williams in 2007.
