Selwyn (born Selwyn Pretorius, 1982, in Durban, South Africa) is an R&B singer from Perth, Western 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.
