Pierre Opperman

Singer/Songwriter from Knysna,South Africa,who has won the ”Best New Artist” award,on Pirate Radio of The Treasure Coast,Florida,USA’s 2011 Rockstar Contest. 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. 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.
