- Moonchild Sanelly - 

“sharp-shooting lyricism and storytelling, with grooving beats” Clash Mag
“future ghetto punk” – Crack Mag



With a discography that embraces South African homegrown genres from Amapiano and Gqom to her own pioneering style dubbed “future ghetto funk”, musician and creative visionary Moonchild Sanelly has from the outset blazed her own unique trail. The Port Elizabeth-born maverick is known for her vibrant, inimitable style, affirming lyricism and storytelling, as well as inspirational honesty, across a career which deftly encompasses constant experimentation and innovation, while always remaining accessible and singularly recognizable as Moonchild Sanelly.



Following the success of her award-winning debut studio album Rabulapha! (2015) and the genre-crossing sophomore album Phases (2022), the self-described musical shapeshifter came back with her new studio album Full Moon in January 2025. 



Full Moon marked the return of a singular artist like no other. Led by singles Scrambled Eggs, Sweet &amp; Savage, Big Booty and Do Your Dance. Sanelly also released the standalone ‘Big Man’ single with Self Esteem.
