Below are three of my Afrikaans songs...
I'm a tax specialist but compose music in my spare time. It's no more than a hobby though, so don't worry, I won't quit my day job!. I'm also busy writing an Afrikaans novel which I hope to complete before I turn 40. The story is set in Bathurst in the Eastern Cape. It will be a fantasy and mystery novel which involves vampires... The idea originated after I heard Annie Lennox's song 'Love song for a Vampire' for the movie 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'.
I fulfilled a life-long dream when I attended a concert of Annie Lennox in London in 2003. She's an amazing lady and has inspired me in many ways since my teenager years. Annie's new album, "Songs of Mass Destruction", has just been released and sounds like her best work to date. In the column to your left you can click and listen to the first single from the album, the hauntingly beautiful "Dark Road". The acoustic version is really beautiful.
During my visit in San Francisco to see Annie perform I had the privilege of being introduced to some of the wonderful Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. I would love to see the Sisterhood on African soil...
