R&B singer Kehlani added to Rocking the Daisies lineup

R&B and neo-soul singer Kehlani has been announced as the second international act at the 2022 edition of Rocking the Daisies.

The Distraction singer joins previous acts announced Clean Bandit, and a slew of local talent, including BLXCKIE, DBN GOGO, Will Linley, Sun El Musician, Focalistic, TxC, Sio, Matthew Mole, Aymos, Nasty C and Kid Fonque on the lineup.

“Regarded as one of the leaders of the contemporary R&B garde, Kehlani’s repertoire, at just 27 years old, is something to marvel at. Receiving her start on American Idol as part of a girl band in 2011, just three years later, Kehlani went on to drop their debut solo album SweetSexySavage and subsequently find their way to numerous collaborations with names such as Charlie Puth, Cardi B, Ty Dolla Sign, Eminem, Chance the Rapper, Justin Bieber, Zayne Malik and Musiq Soulchild (to name a few) in the years to follow,” reads a press release.

Kehlani’s upcoming performance at Rocking the Daisies 2022 will mark their first time performing on the African continent.
