BlaqPearl

Started writing her first piece at the age of 12 with the intention to simply expressing herself and release some of the frustrations that she has to deal with in her community/ life. This first writing, ‘Life’s No Metaphor’ then developed into a song and was complimented and a stunner every time she performed it. From that time already, she was doing choruses for her late brother ‘Devious’ (1977-2004), who is also her biggest influence. She also performed at small & big family, friends, community, Government & corporate events. From 2001, she moved on to performing at bigger and more recognized events and local city as well as international festivals. Her music entails social content, controversial /tabooed issues and is about empowerment and real experiences + strength and motivation. She describes her music genre as a fusion of African/ soul / jazz / hip hop/ R&B.

Her first single, titled “Life’s no Metaphor” is released and available from November 2005.

Recently: She was nominated to represent South Africa In The Netherlands,Amsterdam for the B-Connected,MusicMayDay festival, 21 &22 May 2006, and had unforgettable experiences to bring back home (positively). Also her music can be found on sale (top 20 shelve) at the African Music Store in Long street,CPT.
