Karyn White to headline Divas 2018

International, award-winning songstress Karyn White will be headlining Divas 2018 at the GrandWest Grand Arena in Cape Town on 28 July 2018. White will be supported by South African female talent, who will be announced at a later stage.

White is an accomplished singer/songwriter who etched herself into music history with her smash hit song, the female anthem Superwoman. That song made international waves, selling over a million units, was certified Gold, and named the Billboard R&B Song of the Year in 1989.

She opened Karyn White Enterprises (KWE) in 2011; a multi-platform media company offering diverse and uplifting entertainment across the broad media landscapes of music, television, and film. White released her long-awaited album Carpe Diem on her own label and distributed through Light Year/EMI.

White's new movie and soundtrack, Gale &The Storm, is a story loosely based on the life of Jay King, the legendary music producer and founder of the Grammy award-winning group Club Nouveau. The film revolves around a music producer who links up with a soul singer and tries to convince her to sing again. White executive produced, co-wrote, and starred in the film.

White also executive produced, co-wrote, and recorded eight songs on the soundtrack. The soundtrack is a fusion of cosmic funk, soul, rock, and R&B. She delivers an array of fiery and soulful melodies while belting out every note and inflexion with power.

Her upcoming plans include appearing as a series regular in the BET sitcom Beauty and the Baller, created and produced by Emmy award-winning writer Michael Ajakawe. White also debuted in the Lionsgate feature film American Bad Boy starring Kat Williams. She is also gearing up for tour dates in South Africa, the UK, and Japan.

Tickets cost R195.00 – R300.0 and can be purchased from Computicket, Shoprite Checkers and all House & Home Stores.
