“I was in a group called QTP in KZN, and then broke off when I was 18 years old. We got a record deal but I didn’t take it because they only wanted her and not my team, I also felt that she was too young.
“I met my now-husband, had kids, and got married, he is also my manager. He has been pushing me because when I become a mother I kind of lost focus of my career. My first official single is called ‘My Amour’,” said KELSTAR.
The artist has released only 3 singles so far but indicated that’s she has more work than she is yet to release and she will also have an Extended Play record (EP) in the near future.
KELSTAR added; “We are here to help our communities, especially with our youngsters, soon we will start our KELSTAR Records as well so we like to use that as a platform for youngsters with the talent to use. We want to get the youngsters away from all of these drugs and bad influences that oppress our youngsters,”.
The artist also shared that she is part of an international project with different producers and DJ’s and said that the country needs to prepare themselves because there is a fire that’s coming.
“KELSTAR is rising. I worked with a lot of artists and producers. When I was sixteen years old, I sang for Brenda Fassie and she told me that I’m going to be a star. I am a people’s person, I’m down to earth and I even call my fans ‘fam fans’ because they are my family and I should appreciate them and build them also.
“I am a versatile artist; I can sing and work with any genre. I have been writing my own music since I was 13 years old, I paint, sketch and I make my own clothing as well. When I write my songs, I do a lot of poetic justice to my music, it is inspired by Tracy Chapman and Tupac.
“I looked up to those people because they sang about reality, they made sense and opened our mind. So, I’m here to bring a positive message, to open people’s hearts, and touch their souls.”
