1. Dela Poster

Dela is certainly poised to be a leading trend setter and leader in the world of afro-soul. This gifted singer, songwriter and performing artist started performing at 7 years of age and continued singing through Primary and High School.

Having performed for a while as a backup singer for some of the leading musicians in Kenya, she branched out into her solo career in 2009. Dela’s sound is an edgy soulful mix of Afro, Neo-Soul, Reggae and Hiphop.

You may have already seen her at various notable concerts this year such the “Sawa Sawa Festival”, “WAPI”, “Love is” & ‘Blankets & Wine VIII’ as a solo artiste. Early this year she signed to Penya Africa, where she is currently working on her debut solo album due in November 2009.
