Moonchild Sanelly
South African musician Moonchild Sanelly brings her signature blend of gqom, hip-hop, and Afro-punk energy to the stage.
Known for her bold persona and vibrant blue hair, she has carved a unique space in the global music scene. Her sound is rooted in the township-born gqom genre, laced with infectious beats and sharp lyrical wit, often addressing themes of empowerment and individuality.
With a growing international presence, she’s collaborated with global stars and continues to push boundaries with her fearless artistry. Expect a set that reflects her unapologetic creativity and deep connection to her South African roots.
The bass on 'Scrambled Eggs' featured here is something else I think. Whilst you don’t need a working knowledge of niche South African genres to appreciate it, it has sparked some exploration for this particular listener, so fresh is the sound to my jaded lugs.
