Moonchild Sanelly talks to 6 Music DJ and practising integrative psychotherapist Nemone about the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of her life, and how she expresses thoughts, feelings and emotions through her own music.

The blue-haired Johannesburg based musician, poet and dancer has created her own music genre "Future ghetto punk", which fuses elements of experimental electronic, afro-punk and edgy-pop with hints of her strong kwaito, hip hop and jazz background. Moonchild has reached audiences beyond South Africa's borders, playing festivals such as SXSW in Austin, Texas and Primavera Sound in Barcelona. She has become a firm favourite on the 6 Music playlist with infectious tracks such as 'Thunda Thighs', 'Yebo Teacher' and 'Undumpable'. She has also collaborated with Beyonce, Ghetts and Gorillaz, with Damon Albarn describing her as "a global superstar waiting to happen".

Fearless, inclusive and a lot of fun, Moonchild Sanelly's iconic personal style, combined with an outspoken approach to female sexual empowerment and body positivity, makes her one of the most exciting performers on the planet right now.
