Selwyn (born Selwyn Pretorius, 1982, in Durban, South Africa) is an R&B singer from Perth, Western Australia, Australia. He was a contestant on the Australian reality series Popstars 2; and while he didn't make it through to the final group lineup, his appearance on the show managed to score him a record deal. His first single "Buggin' Me" was released in 2001; with his debut album Meant to Be following in 2002. A few more hits came from the album, such as "Way Love's Supposed To Be", and "Rich Girl", a cover of the Hall & Oates song (taken from the soundtrack to the film The Nugget). He returned in 2004 with a new album One Way, and a new single "Boomin'", but this achieved much less than his first album's success; and consequently he was dropped by his record label. He is also infamous for his feud with Cristian Alexanda, another R&B singer from Perth.
