Hitmaker Kelli-Leigh has shared an insight into how she accidentally ended up being part of a huge Christmas movie. The Unconditional songstress has been making waves in the music industry for over a decade but rarely without being credited. Earlier this month, she found herself being flooded with support by fellow artists and music managers after DJ Duke Dumont refrained from creditng Kelli-Leigh on social media for his track, Melt, later informing the star that she had writing credits as well as vocals, after she offered a major contribution to the song.

But the 39-year-old is a firm believer in allowing the universe to work its magic. "The thing I do love about this job and doing music, every day is different. You don't know what could happen," she exclusively told the Mirror. She added that it "keeps her on her toes.".

The Favourite Things singer went on to say: "Even when you have those exhausting moments, something will happen and it’s phenomenal. Last year, I was having a really quiet moment, I was like 'Universe provide something', then I got I asked to sing Miracle by Raphael Saadiq, for the Eddie Murphy Christmas movie (Candy Cane Lane), which became the number one Christmas movie on Amazon for that whole period which was wild. That wasn’t a thing and it didn't exist and suddenly, it did. That's the thing I love about this, you could have an email or a phone call and everything changes – it's wild, it's not for the faint hearted this business.".

Candy Cane Lane saw Eddie Murphy take the lead role of Chris Carver, a laid off corporate marketer, as he makes his own handmade Christmas decorations as part of a competition in his area. However, Carver has never won and often goes up against his neighbour, Bruce, who frequently submits inflatables and other widely available decorations. However, having been laid off from his job in the lead up to Christmas, Carver fights harder than ever to win the $100,000 prize.
