Artist

Her delicate, soulful voice first stole hearts while she was a contestant on both the 7th and 8th seasons of Idols South Africa. Then, through a series of clever collaborations with some of Mzansi’s finest hit-makers—including Kyle Deutsch and Sketchy Bongo—Durban singer Shekhinah continued to establish herself as an important voice in contemporary pop and urban R&B. Today, it’s impossible to imagine dance-chart dominators like “Let You Know” and “Back to the Beach” without her effortlessly gorgeous vocals. And it was through her much-anticipated 2017 debut album Rose Gold—a vibey, multi-genre pop exploration of life, love and everything in between—that this funkified neo-soul songbird finally took her mesmerising solo flight.
