Miss Khalaeliah…WHY IS SHE STILL UNSIGNED!!
She sat there on the bench opposite the McDonalds in Mitcham, Surrey on a hot August summer afternoon playing her guitar preparing for her perfomance at the Youth Event in Mitcham Green and I just thought, “She’s soo cool”. It wasn’t until I heard Margaret Khalaeliah Bakosi sing for the first time and her voice actually gave me goosebumps. A voice so soulfull, so delicate yet so powerful and extremely well controlled. On giving her a compliment I was suprised at how humble and down to earth she is.She doesn’t need to blow her own trumphet as her wonderful voice pretty much does all of that for her. On Friday the 27th of November, I heard her sing again at an event for unsigned artists and just had to do a feature about her as I’m still wondering WHY IS SHE STILL UNSIGNED???.
An interview on facebook chat and blackberry messenger was therefore only appropriate. Miss Khalaeilah discovered her singing talent at about the age of seven. She just sang around the house you know the usuall hairbrush….. singing along to the nursery rhymes blah blah but it wasn’t until she was about 16/17 that she decided to choose singing as her career. After attending St Francis Xavier Sixth Form College, Khalaeilah proceeded to Central School of Speech and Drama (CCSD) in London. Well it might seem like i’m blabbing on with no evidence, here goes..I’ll let you be the judge..
Musically Miss Khalaeilah is inspired by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Lucy Pearl, Mariah Carey and compares herself to India Arie and more modern Chrisette Mitchell. On playing her music to some of my friends, she has been compared to Corinne Bailey Rae, India Arie, Amel Larrieux, all wonderful soul artists. Alongside being an excellent singer, Khalaeliah writes her own songs which, as well as being very good songs are wonderful pieces of poetry.

Music for Khalaeliah in her words is all about “producing honest music and not just for commercial’s sake.” It’s refreshing to see real music talent than the usuall naked, no singing talent and conventionally mainstream artists that the music industry is saturated with at the moment. At a young age of only 19, Khalaeliah is making herself a name, a good one at that considering she only took her singing seriously about two years ago.
I haven’t actively taken myself to a music store to buy an album in a very long while,but if Khaleilah is to drop an album I shall be doing exactly this. Her voice is just sooo soulfull and perfectly controlled. A singing voice that sounds the same regardless of wheather the song is a live or a recorded version which, is something rarely ever achieved by the modern music artist. Miss Khalaeliah has been approached for her music a couple of times. I haven’t a single criticism about Miss Khalaeliah as a person and as a music artist and these exact features destine this young, beautiful lady for ultimate greatness.

)! Anyway!!!! I want her signed !!Just so I can go and BUY her album (which she soooo needs to hurry up and complete) 
I was fortunate to be around during & before the time miss khalaeliah started taking her singing seriously. Even then she was oblivious to the extraordinary voice she has & the wonderful thing is she still is. Everything about her is tailor-made, from her personality, to her voice & song writing. Although i’ve heard her sing on so many occasions the awe no fades…simply amazing…simply beautiful!
