Six top divas in Coke’s Studio Africa
Shellsy Baronet
The 20-year-old Mozambican singer Shellsy Baronet famed for her hit single Ultima Mocha is one of the youngest stars to join Coke Studio Africa.
Her first stint with the show was in 2017, paired alongside Eddy Kenzo (Uganda) and Bisa Kidei (Ghana) as a Big Break act on a special segment on the show spotlighting rising stars.
This paved way for her success in her country; and in just months the music video of her song surpassed one million YouTube views.
She also won an award for Best Female Act and this trajectory prompted Coke Studio Africa to enlist her for the 2019 edition as a main act. On the show, she will be collaborating with Tanzanian R&B singer Jux.

Nandy is at the helm of top musical powerhouses in Tanzania. The sultry honey-voiced ballad singer has amassed a sizeable fanatical fanbase since she hit the limelight. The 28-year-old singer releases the kind of music that speaks directly to her fans and she is without a doubt changing the face of music.
“To say the truth I have been inspired so much by the fact that my fans have always been loyal. I don’t want to ever let them down,” she says. “My studio time is a bit simple, most of the times I don’t record in studio, I get myself a serviced apartment for like a week and just spend the whole week recording with various producers and artists. I just love my space and peace. All of us, my team and I, move to the apartment for a whole week and magic is always made,” the ‘African Princess’ reveals.
