Blaq Raven (born Lesego Leatisitswe Moerane) is one of South Africa's most captivating live performers. Her sound pulls the raw emotion of gospel, the phrasing of jazz and the warmth of soul into something unmistakably African and universally felt.
She began singing in her local church at eight. She was shaped by Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Lionel Richie and South Africa's own Boom Shaka. At university she took the name Blaq Raven, a name for depth, transformation and resilience, and became a founding voice of the collective Blaq Seed.
Today she performs as a fully independent artist, with more than twenty years on stage.
