In South-Africa, the world-class singer-songwriter Nianell is known as the vivacious, fiery-haired and angel-tongued majestic mistress of music. With her immaculate voice, she dazzles with ease among four octaves. She is a vocal gymnast, her music original and exciting. Elements of Folk, Pop, R&B, Country, Classic and even Celtic music are all fused into her own unique style. Nianell was born in Omaruru, a tiny Namibian town, between Windhoek and Swakopmund. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/
