Moonchild Sanelly

Moonchild Sanelly is an electrifying performer from South Africa who refers to her music as future ghetto punk. Known for her outspoken views on female empowerment and sexual positivity, she sings in Xhosa and English over productions drawing from house and dance-pop as well as hip-hop and dancehall. Following the release of her 2015 debut full-length, Rabulapha!, she became a celebrity in her home country, and reached international audiences through her appearances on releases by Beyoncé, Gorillaz, Major Lazer, and others. Her second album, 2022's Phases, incorporated South African dance genres like gqom and amapiano as well as left-field pop. Sanelisiwe Twisha was born in Port Elizabeth in 1987. She moved to Durban in 2005 to study fashion, and she later launched a clothing line called Moonchild Cultwear. She began performing in Durban in 2006, blending poetry with her family's background in hip-hop, jazz, and kwaito. She frequently appeared on Poetry with King Siso, a weekly program on Durban radio station Gagasi FM. Her work with DJ Shimza brought her to the attention of Red Bull, which booked her for their music festivals and sponsored her recordings. Based in Johannesburg, Moonchild Sanelly released her debut album, Rabulapha!, in 2015, and subsequently released songs with Jay Cubed, DJ Maphorisa, Missu, and others. In 2018, she was featured on Die Antwoord's European tour, and she reached a much greater level of international exposure when she was featured on Beyoncé's 2019 soundtrack The Lion King: The Gift. Additionally, she appeared on releases by Africa Express and DJ Lag, and released her EP Nüdes at the end of the year. Sanelly guested on Gorillaz' Song Machine, Season One and Die Antwoord's House of Zef in 2020, as well as Ghetts' Conflict of Interest and Major Lazer's Music Is the Weapon (Reloaded) in 2021. She hosted a talk show, The Madness Method, a BET Africa program which was also made available as a podcast. She continued releasing singles like "Yebo Teacher" and "Covivi." Her second album, Phases, arrived in 2022, featuring several previously issued singles, often inspired by gqom and amapiano, in addition to more pop-influenced material.
