FROM performing at open mic events and gigs at the age of 12 alongside her brothers, to becoming a singer-songwriter while pursuing a diploma in music at the National Academy of Arts, Culture and Heritage (Aswara), Khodi is a creative soul and an exciting neo-soul artiste on the rise.
Her debut single Ke Mana in 2019, co-written by R&B twins Amzar and Amsyar, who goes by the name Razqa, received massive acclaim upon release. It packs a powerful and emotional vocal range with tasteful trumpet intermittence and rhythmic baseline that underlines the lyrical wordplay.
