Montréal, June 5, 2012 – Octane Racing Group Inc. is pleased to announce that Lovely Andalay, 14, of Montréal, will be singing Canada’s national anthem during the official ceremonies preceding the start of the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, June 10th. Born in the Orient and living in Montréal since 2008, the young high school student who speaks fluent English and French, is also an accomplished musician who plays guitar and piano while on stage.
“We are proud to offer to Lovely Andalay the opportunity to be heard during the 2012 Grand Prix du Canada opening ceremonies. We sincerely wish her the best of luck with her singing of our national anthem,” said François Dumontier, President & CEO of Octane Racing Group, promoter of the event.
