Rising star Elizabeth Marvelly was joined by a special guest at the launch of her self-titled debut album yesterday - her great, great uncle Sir Howard Morrison.
The 18-year-old chanteuse performed a showcase of three songs before being joined on stage by Sir Howard, where they sang Love
Is All together.
Marvelly, who has been compared to fellow pop-classical star Hayley Westenra, was signed to EMI London in August this year, becoming just the third New Zealand singer to join the label in the past ten years.
In addition to her famous uncle, Marvelly is set to gain some more A-list fans when she performs in Hong Kong next month at the premiere of Nicole Kidman's new film The Golden Compass.
The star has also signed on to tour New Zealand with Britain's Got Talent star Paul Potts in April next year.
