After putting out the incredible mixtape Cut 4 Me late last year, Kelela’s had folks turning their heads and perking up their ears. Born in Washington, DC to Ethiopian immigrant parents, Kelela has described her sound as Brandy but weirder, which…how can you say no to that? Weird Brandy is everything I never knew I needed! But for real though, she’s that and so much more – I cannot recommend you listen to her mixtape enough if you haven’t yet.
