Steadily coming into her own, she invites you to share her journey in an intimate one-night performance. Backed by Cape Town veterans, Blackcurrant, Deslynn will present her unique brand of urban soul, an amalgamated delight blending RnB, jazz and uplifting soul. 

Audience Responses

enjoyed her performance very much . thank you

The show came alive with Deslynn's fun on stage presence. She was interactive and had great original covers as well as very soothing original music. I would definitely recommend her to others as well as the venue.

Lovely personality and lots of potential , think she needs some-professional help with voice training , the pianist was great , others okay . At least this gig brought a different audience to the AB , be great to have a more diverse audience , more gigs like this that can attract different crowds.

She was awesome!

She was amazing. Blackcurrant were amazing. Sounded so much better live. Fantastic show. Next time you have a live performance, have the band have CDs or information of where people can buy their music... Would have really liked to own this music. The venue itself was great, small and intimate -- perfect for such a performance.

Lovely, natural and charming
