The\u00a0South African R&amp;B singer and songwriter is now 21 years old. Born in Pretoria, she began singing in the pre-school choir and immediately earned a love for the stage. From that point, Elaine partook in multiple talent show competitions both as a soloist and part of the choir, even winning a gold medal at 2014\u2019s 8th World Choir Games in Riga, Latvia.<\/p>\n<p>While studying in school, Elaine had the urge to create her first project that later shaped into her debut EP,\u00a0<strong><em>Elements<\/em><\/strong>. The EP follows a journey through love, heartbreak and renewal, and ended up making history for Elaine making her the first female independent artist to reach No. 1 on the Apple Music Sub-Saharan African charts.<\/p>\n<p>As Elaine continues to work on her debut major-label album that will discuss newfound independence and learning accountability, she aims to shed light on South Africa\u2019s burgeoning music scene:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI&#8217;ve got a completely different story to tell.
