With a fan base made up of Solange Knowles, Sam Sparro, Dizzee Rascal, Ben Pearce and Mr Hudson, Los Angeles based singer Kelela is shaping up to be one of this year's brightest stars.

Following the release of her critically acclaimed debut mixtape, Cut 4 Me, in late 2013, the indie/twisted R&B songstress set the music industry alight with an eclectic mix of songs about love lost. Nominated for the BBC Sound of 2014, the 30 year old is sure to take to the stage during several festivals this summer after the success of her headline show at London's Electrowerkz last November.
