Moonchild Sanelly, with her distinctive blue hair and eclectic fashion sense, is a South African musician and performer known for her unique blend of music that combines elements of kwaito, hip-hop, jazz, and electro. Born Sanelisiwe Twisha on November 20, 1987, in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, she has positioned herself as one of the most dynamic artists in the South African music scene. Her signature sound, which she has coined as "Future Ghetto Punk," is as inventive and bold as her visual presentation, with lyrics often touching on female empowerment and self-expression.

Her music career has been marked by a series of audacious releases that showcase her versatility and distinctive vocal style, characterized by expressive, rhythmic delivery. Among Moonchild Sanelly's recent musical offerings are "Baba Ka Girl," which features ShennyDaDeejay and Candy FLow RSA, and the infectious track "wdys?" that further cements her as a force in the music industry. The single "sweety," along with its various mixes including "the sweeter mix" and the "sevenths take," displays her ability to weave spellbinding melodies with dance-inspiring beats. Collaborations like "Tell Me Your Politik," which sees her teaming up with the legendary Nile Rodgers, highlight her growing international appeal. Other notable tracks such as "Kokokokoko," "Hard," and "Comfy" continue to expand her discography with their adventurous soundscapes and genre-defying rhythms. Through her music and her performance art, Moonchild Sanelly empowers listeners and consistently pushes the boundaries of the South African music scene.
