Shekhinah opens up about being abandoned and adopted
The talented South African singer speaks to Rian about the incredible year she's had.
South Africans have known and loved Shekhinah Donnell since she made her debut on Idols in 2012. Her talent was undeniable during the competition.

The hit single "Back to the Beach", on which she collaborated with fellow Idols alum Kyle Deutsch, was a festive season favourite with South Africans, who also couldn't get enough of her collaboration with Black Coffee, "Your Eyes".

With this new album, Shekhinah is finding her true voice and settling on a unique style. Watch her music video for "Suited", which is currently on high rotation all over the country:
