Singer Lacey Mosley Sturm of Flyleaf makes an appearance in the video for the song “Courage” by 25-year-old guitar virtuoso Orianthi Panagaris. Orianthi (as she’s known professionally) is from Adelaide, Australia who was rehearsing with Michael Jackson for his “This Is It” concerts before his death.

In an interview with ARTISTdirect, Lacey said this of working on the “Courage” video shoot: “It was fun working with Orianthi. She’s a really cool girl, and she has a great voice. When we were in between takes, she was sitting there with her guitar shredding for fun and talking to me at the same time [Laughs]. She’s really talented!”
