Elaine

From that point, Elaine partook in multiple talent show competitions both as a soloist and part of the choir, even winning a gold medal at 2014’s 8th World Choir Games in Riga, Latvia. While studying in school, Elaine had the urge to create her first project that later shaped into her debut EP Elements.

The EP follows a journey through love, heartbreak and renewal, and ended up making history for Elaine making her the first female independent artist to reach No. 1 on the Apple Music Sub-Saharan African charts. The continuous success of the now certified platinum Elements was the result of a year-long process that Elaine describes as an adventure. Using social media to reach out to the EP’s two producers Clxrity and Elizée, Elaine had a humbling experience creating the project full of combating loud residential students while recording it in dorm room in between class lectures and during lunch breaks. Currently, Elaine is finishing up her law degree at Johannesburg’s University of the Witwatersrand and working on a slew of new releases including her major-label debut album.
