Thembi - Desert Chyld

Meet Desert Chyld: a bubbly and charismatic young lady with a tremendous passion for soul music. Rest assured that in her world nothing is the norm, because she’s a firm believer in the saying ‘conformity breeds mediocrity’.

Her passion for music began in 1997 when she was vocalist and member of the now-defunct R&B trio Soul’d Out. Conformist she aint’ because she moved from the world of music into the world of advertising, but not for long. Her dynamic nature landed her up in the advertising world which led to a keen interest in TV presentation, landed up being a SABC 1 continuity presenter.

Her non-conformist attitude has dropped her behind the decks.

She’s built a name for herself throughout the club scene by working with various DJs as a freestyle vocalist on their set. This freestyle culture brings in a live element that is well received in clubs such as Café Vogue, Monsoon Lagoon, Sublime, various Ferrari-parties and the like. That experience played a major role in her interest as a DJ. She’s into deep-house, funky.

On request, she’ll experiment with some commercial tracks. This young lady has the ability to bring any party alive.
