Pierre started his musical-career as a drummer, at the young age of 12yrs, and played with various bands during high-school years. A shooting-accident during his military-service severely damaged his right hand/wrist and ended his plans of continuing a career as a professional drummer! Being a natural musician, he progressed to guitar at the age of 15 and continued his passion for music, by performing in various pubs, booze-cruises and beach-parties, over the years. Pierre’s song-writing skills were born during a difficult year, in 2000, whilst living in a caravan on the South Coast of Natal, and continued during the latter years where he has been living in Knysna for the past ten years. Now, with almost a complete album ready, his music has been heard on many European and USA online-radio, and campus radio-stations, including two music-videos on Youtube. His voice and music-style has more than often, been compared to the likes of David Gray, Cat Stevens, Willie Nelson, and even Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. In 2000 a demo-album, consisting of two songs, “Who’s to know” and “In & Out” were recorded at Manley Studios, Pretoria. A self-titled EP consisting of 6 new songs, was recorded at Peace of Eden Recording Studio, Knysna.during 2008 Moneyless; If you Believe; Changes; Motion; Runaway; Desert Light. In October 2010, Pierre returned to Peace of Eden Recording Studio,Knysna,South Africa to record 3 new songs, Quiet Place; Slow Train; and “Don’t Say It” A complete album called “Diaries”, which is a compilation of his bet 10 songs, now reflects Pierre’s life-experiences and journey during the past 11yrs.
