Elat­ed by the thought of her nom­i­na­tion in the cat­e­go­ry of Best New Artiste for the In­ter­na­tion­al Reg­gae and World Mu­sic Awards this year, So­ca artiste, Buffy told the Guardian that her joy has been am­pli­fied by news that she is preg­nant. The 24 year old Any­thing singer, in an ex­clu­sive in­ter­view, re­vealed that she re­cent­ly found out that she is five weeks preg­nant with her sec­ond child. Buffy, whose re­al name is Chrys­tal Bellille ex­plained that the news of her nom­i­na­tion, which she re­ceived on­ly two weeks ago, was like ic­ing on the cake. " I was very ex­cit­ed when I got the call from some­one named Alexan­der from the awards com­mit­tee, about two weeks ago," she said. She ex­plained that the of­fi­cial told her that the com­mit­tee had been mak­ing every ef­fort to con­tact her for the past two months but con­tact was on­ly es­tab­lished when they got her num­ber from Holy House Pro­duc­tion's, Mr Spine. "I be­lieve this will boost my ca­reer.

Af­ter a kind of slow Car­ni­val this past sea­son, this news is just what I need to take my ca­reer to an­oth­er lev­el," she said. Buffy be­lieves the nom­i­na­tion will kick off her ca­reer once again adding that the award's in­ter­na­tion­al sta­tus of­fers a lot for bud­ding en­ter­tain­ers such as her­self. Be­sides be­ing nom­i­nat­ed, Buffy is card­ed to present an award to one of the cat­e­go­ry's win­ners on May 28. "I've al­so been asked to walk the red car­pet and sing on the Sun­day night," she af­firmed. The moth­er of a three-year-old daugh­ter, the "ex­pect­ing" en­ter­tain­er told the Guardian that she be­lieves the host­ing of the IRAW­MA here in T&T should be wel­comed. "We watch these award shows on TV all the time and we some­times say, 'boy I wish I could be there,' now many of us will be there, live," she said with a chuck­le.

With a lot of work be­ing done be­hind the scenes, news of her con­cep­tion is not about to slow this en­ter­tain­er down. "I have book­ings for Boston and Lon­don for the car­ni­vals there," she high­light­ed, adding that with the sup­port of her man­age­ment team, which in­cludes cloth­ing spon­sor, East­ern Av­enue, she's not about to fal­ter. On awards night, fans of the artiste can ex­pect the emer­gence of a true fash­ion­ista, ac­cord­ing to Buffy her­self. She told the Guardian that she is in­cred­i­bly ex­cit­ed to walk the red car­pet dressed like a star, af­ter all an oc­ca­sion like this does not oc­cur every­day.
