Cape Town - Shekhinah is currently living a musical dream: she is the supporting act for global superstar Ed Sheeran on his current tour of South Africa, she opened for John Legend when he was in town last November, her album has gone platinum, and she won three of the big ones at the SAMAs this year.But where did it all begin? Born Shekhinah Thandi Donnell in Durban in 1994, the pop/ R&B vocalist/ songwriter has actually been on the music scene since she was a little girl.
Post that Idols stint, Shekhinah established herself on the national stage by performing in a variety of corporate, government and public events, basing herself in Johannesburg. In 2017 Shekhinah signed to Sony Music and released her debut album Rosegold leading with the single Suited which has since been certified platinum. She followed that with Please Mr and Different, playing all over Africa and collaborating with international companies and artists throughout that year.
Rosegold was also nominated in six categories at the All Africa Music Awards and Shekhinah eventually won Best Female Artist in Southern Africa and Songwriter of the Year.
