## Bio

Kelly Nonhlanhla Khumalo was born 11 November 1984 in Vosloorus, then raised in Nquthu, KwaZulu-Natal. A performance at a gospel talent search landed her a deal with Bonsai Entertainment and her début, T.K.O, in 2005 - the album that made her Best Newcomer that year. The Past, the Present, the Future followed in November 2012, and by May 2013 she took home hardware at the 19th South African Music Awards. Her ninth record, The Voice of Africa (2020), wove R&B, gospel, and Afro pop into a set that earned gold certification in South Africa.
