More about
As a young boy in the 80’s I was born into a musical family with my Grand Father being Jurie Ferreira that had a few hits in the music industry. The most famous of them were Annamarie, Blonde Matroos and Groen Koring Lande. As a child I never thought much about the industry but sang with him when we visited. Always hanging out in Karaoke Bars kept my love for singing alive.
In 2011 I then got diagnosed with Cancer………. And that brought everything to a stand still. For the next 2 years of my life the operations the Chemo and all of the different treatments would change my life for ever!
As I went through the 2 years of treatment I missed singing, so I decided to buy a small sound system a microphone and a mixer. I promoted myself as an Artist and got a few small gigs at local bars, restaurants and private functions.
I have now been in the industry for 10 years and had the privilege to share the stage with the likes of Steve Hofmyer, Juan Boucher, Jakkie Louw, Ruan Du Toit, Piet Pompies, Dirk Van Der Westhuizen, Deon Groot and Pieter Smith just to name a few.
To perform is a passion, I am just one of the lucky ones to do what I do for a living.
