KEBIDOO
Kebidoo (pronounced “kee-bee-doo”) is a South African artist whose music blends various international influences. Her musical style combines iconic South African hip-hop and kwaito with international genres and music cultures such as UK underground grime, K-pop, and electro-pop. Kebidoo represents a new generation of South African artists who are incorporating global influences into their music.
Born in Mahikeng, in the North West province of South Africa, Kebidoo's upbringing was uniquely shaped by her father's career in the South African Airforce, which led to extensive international travel. These experiences exposed her to diverse cultures, inspiring her to blend genres in her music.
The name Kebidoo came as a phonetic spoof of the Setswana word for the color red, “khibidu”, paying homage to her fiery personality and Tswana heritage.
