ABOUT CHRISSY SYKES
Chrissy, an accomplished and award-winning singer/songwriter and recording artist, has left an
indelible mark on the music scenes in both South Africa and Nashville, USA. However, her passion
for making a positive impact on the world led her to channel her songwriting skills into a
groundbreaking programme called "My Body is My Body" 34 years ago. This innovative programme was
developed in collaboration with the Departments of Education and Human Services in the United
States of America.
For five years, Chrissy travelled extensively across the USA, visiting states such as Texas,
Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, and Atlanta, where she presented the "My Body is My Body" programme
in schools to over 350,000 children. It became clear to her that while the live shows were
impactful, they could only reach a limited number of children. With a vision to reach a wider
audience and make a difference on a global scale, Chrissy decided to transform the program into an
animated format that could be shared on the internet and distributed to schools, teachers, and
parents worldwide.

Determined to bring her vision to life, Chrissy spent four years mastering the art of animation,
setting up her music studio, and creating the animations in English. In 2017, she released the
first set of animations, and they were met with an overwhelmingly positive response. Numerous
requests poured in from various regions to have the program translated into different languages. As
a result, "My Body is My Body" has now been translated into 27 languages, and the animations have
been viewed over 1.5 million times on YouTube.
