Kelela

Aka the sonically adventurous R&B Los Angeles-based singer Kelela Mizanekristos. Kelela was raised in Rockville, Maryland, being the only daughter of Ethiopian parents who had emigrated to the States in the 1970s. Her heart-stoppingly direct lyrics are engaged in a deep push-pull dialogue with the genre-blurring music of Fade To Mind and Night Slugs producers including Jam City, Bok Bok, and Nguzunguzu.
