Carren Eda Lamperini aka Eda Rose is a 23 year-old chikita that’s out, about and determined to make her mark within the South African Entertainment Industry. This young lady is not only a Radio Personality (Trans Africa Radio) but an Actress, Shoe/Bag Designer and Singer too.
In 2010, she joined YFM 99.2‘s 6-month Y-Academy Internship Programme on a venture to learn more about radio. After Graduating, she got hired as a Co-Host on the Breakfast Show (Flava In The Morning) 6-9am, Monday-Friday with Mo Flava.
This month saw her winning the Ikusasa ‘On Air Radio Personality of the Year’ Award, thanks to the Ikukasa Youth Expo (first South African Youth Awards). Just two weeks ago, Eda modelled for David Tlale’s ‘Legit’ line ‘Van Der Tlale’ in Vosloorus, which she remembers as being an absolute honour…But that’s not all! Eda is one of the two faces of South Africa for the first International Hair Extravaganza Awards that are taking place in August this year.
Eda currently resides in Bryanston, backing that up with studies of Accounting and Finance Honours obtained from London, UK at the London Metropolitan University, which proves you can have both Beauty and Brains! She’s travelled quite a lot too, having been to countries such as the UK, Italy, Amsterdam, U.S.A, Bostwana, Namibia and U.A.E.
With her love for R&B Music, one wouldn’t be surprised she ventured into Singing too. For a good time, Eda enjoys hanging out in the Greenside and Sandton areas. In 2011, Eda entered Miss Earth, becoming a semi-finalist. She recalls how she learnt a lot and enjoyed the experience.
Eda plans to Build Her Brand further, with aspirations of acting in more movies, an album release, presenting her own show and simply making more moola. WATCH THIS SPACE!
