Looking for something seasoned & unique for your special event?Look no further!Currently headlining on Branson's Virgin Voyages - Selkii has over 16 yrs experience performing both internationally & nationwide as a 1-Woman-Band, including half a decade as a Live-on Soloist onboard Disney Cruise Lines. Selkii is best known from 2019 NBC The Voice where she was mentored by Blake Shelton. Selkii (which means Seal) was also placed 7th on South African Idol in her native country’s version of American Idol. Her impressive live-looping skills allow her to create sonic backdrops for her captivating & soulful voice. Selkii also offers a Musician-DJ Combo & offers songwriting & themed sets.
Selkii is a pro. She came to our event with all her own equipment, we just supplied her electricity.
She sounded great, her selection were perfect for our outdoor corporate event.
Selkii is a great artist and performer. She is very talented, kind, and professional. We can’t wait to hire her again soon.
Selkii came to sing and play guitar for a dinner show I had for my clients at a restaurant in Peabody, MA. To say she was exceptional is an understatement. Selkii is not only unbelievably talented but she is personable, friendly and very professional. I will absolutely be using Selkii again for a future event. I highly suggest her.
We have come to know Selkii personally after seeing her perform first at a corporate event and then have hired her to perform for 3 different occasions, 2 were corporate events, and the other was a wedding. She always does an amazing job and could not be anymore talented as a singer/musician. And she is an amazing person to boot!! You will surely be blessed if you allow her to perform for you!!
Response from Selkii:
Thanks so much Gina 🙌🥳🎶
Selkii delivers on everything and provides wonderful and engaging entertainment. We knew her from The Voice and she put in a one-person show for us with skillful looping of guitar, percussive sounds and great vocals. She’s very personable and interactive, and everyone in the room feels as if she is their good friend! With covers and originals, Selkii has it all!
Response from Selkii:
Thanks so much Tom 🙏 Looking forward to another concert again!
“Wow, she’s got a real gift, doesn’t she?” And “that was truly so fun” are at least tow of the comments I recall from the group. We had so much fun with Selkii! Not only is her voice amazing, it’s the lovable personality and positive attitude that we connect with - we’ve brought Selkii in multiple times! :)
Response from Selkii:
It’s always such a pleasure playing for you guys !
thank you so much for taking the time to leave a positive word :)
I discovered Selkii when my company hired Selkii to perform at our corporate social event at Sea World during a conference a couple of years ago. We had a section of the park, including one of the rollercoasters, closed off for us after hours. The best part of the event in my opinion, however, was Selkii. She is an amazing talent, and her guitar-playing, looping, and singing skills are fantastic. She covered so many songs, even taking requests, and made them her own. Captivating to say the least! I was pleasantly surprised when she relocated from Florida to Massachusetts, and I am stoked to have had a hand in hiring Selkii to perform at (and DJ) my company's holiday party in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!
I have seen Selkii perform multiple times. She is wonderfully talented and entertaining. She is comfortable singing music from a wide range of genres and capably uses the technology features to enhance her performance. For example, on the spot, she will record a small segment of the song she is currently singing and use it as background in the next refrain. She knows the songs and can therefore play around with them to enhance her performance. Also, she is kind and responsive to the audience, welcoming them to bend and sometimes participate in her performance, definitely adding to the fun. highly recommend.
Response from Selkii:
Thanks for this awesome review 🤘🥳Always such a pleasure sharing my music with you!
Selkii is a great singer and musician with an extensive playlist for any type of event. We saw her most recently on a Virgin cruise and since then she was rebooked for several more cruises. I would consider her for almost any type of event, personal or corporate. You won’t be disappointed!
I hired Selkii to perform at a summer networking event and she was fantastic! Everyone was raving about how great she was. Would highly recommend booking her for your next event!
Response from Selkii:
It was such a pleasure thank you so much Jill - I hope we can do it again soon!
Selkii was great to work with while preparing for our wedding: Asking for special requests, making sure that she would be prepared for anything. She has a wonderful personality, and everybody loved her. Selkii went way beyond by talking to people and making sure they knew to request anything: and nothing phased her. She also rarely took a break. She played easily 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Every guest remarked on what a great musician and what great music.
DON'T let her get away! Hire her before somebody else does.
Selkii was amazing! She is an incredible talent and a wonderful person. We can't wait to work with her again!
Response from Selkii:
Thank you for the kind words Jill - I’m looking forward to working together more 🌻🌻🌻
We had a fantastic time for my husbands birthday party
She was on time and professional and a fantastic performer who knows a ton of popular songs and has a great voice.
Response from Selkii:
Thanks so much Diana it’s so good meeting you all 🌻🎶
When looking for the final touch to make our client event memorable, we made the decision to book Selkii and we couldn't have made the more perfect choice. For our small and intimate crowd, Selkii was the perfect blend of talent and charm. She wowed our guests and engaged our staff with her tremendous talent.
When returning to Orlando, Selkii would definitely be at the top of our list!
Response from Selkii:
Thank you Shane I had a fabulous time with you guys. Thanks for letting me swing a ball! :)
I have known Selkii since her appearance on The Voice. I have seen many of her performances online. I thought she would be a perfect fit to our company's Grand Opening Celebration, but I was slightly incorrect. Selkii was not a "fit" to our event. She was the absolute reason for a successful day. Her voice is absolutely incredible. Her exceptional talent, style, and personality is far superior to any expectation I could have hoped for. Our audience had ages from early 20's to late 80's and everyone was totally captivated by her performance. We may have captured an audience with our advertisements, but Selkii is the reason they all stayed till the end. A note to Selkii - You have not only exceeded my expectations, you did it while making us all feel as if we were family. I am forever grateful for what you have done for our celebration. Once again, I want to give you a huge heart felt thank you!
She was professional and her music was amazing. 10 out of 10.
Selkii performed at my class reunion and the audience loved her music. She was so detailed and creative by adding our school name and class year in one of the songs which gave it the perfect personal touch. Her personality, professionalism and skills as a performer was outstanding and a must have at your future event.
Response from Selkii:
Thanks so much for your kind words and for having me! I hope we keep in touch!
Warmest regards Selkii

Selkii could be described as a modern day one-man band, as she is able to utilize her looping pedal and layer guitar parts and beats to create a full band sound in a small solo set-up.
That being said, she has a beautiful strong voice & wonderful guitar style and is a pleasure to hear unplugged/acoustic if you want a stripped coffee house package - If you're a fan of Coffeehouse Artists with soulful feel - Vance Joy, Matt Nathanson, George Ezra, Jack Johnson, Amy Winehouse, Brandi Carlisle, Norah Jones, Colbie Colait, Joss Stone, Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Rait, Ryan Adams, Amos Lee, Leon Bridges, India Arie, Tracy Chapman - or you love Ben Harper, Ray Lamontagne, Glen Hansard, Damien Rice, James Bay, Ed Sheeran, Van Morrison, Coldplay, Rob Thomas, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, The Script, Maroon 5, The Swell Season, Civil Wars etc - you'll love Selkii.
