It’s ok to blink. But blinking without having a plan- that’s a problem…
I was thinking: How can I sell you my newest offerings without making it look like my Office desk’s chaos? Well- it might look like chaos… but it’s planned chaos! It’s stuff I engineered more than seven years ago…
You see I had a dream of writing 50 songs for 50 artists and teach and help them to be successful in the music industry as independent artists. For that mission I had to figure it out myself(best person to practice on first is yourself my brother always says) And I literally went all the way to Nashville/TheMoon and back.
And now 7+ years later things are starting to move slowly but surely into focus. At Last! E.g. this week Hilton Mandela Andries came back from his year+ experience in Spain wanting to do a show featuring some of my songs I wrote for him and his amazing voice. We had a meeting on Thursday and ended up spending the day: I play piano, make tracks, play-video-video, record some studio stuff- we collaborate with more artists…) And right there is my dream come true: to have a special chaos day… #PlannedChaos.
Stuff I wrote on my vision board, made white envelopes for, moved it back and forth on clipboards(project status stuff), Dropbox folders, lyric sheets, photo’s, biographies, poster designs… for seven years.
A show? No- I don’t want to sell you a show. This is my life in 7D proving to prove that a baby born- prematurely -can dream big and invite you to become part of the next 7 year’s journey.

Kommagas se mense
(Instr)
V1. Maak my wakker met jou wakkerword brou
As die dou op die dag lê en wag
Dan klim ek nog ‘n bietjie dieper in
Terwyl ek op jou koppie liefde wag.
Pre-koor: Maak jou oorgawe met jou thè
Gooi ‘n bietjie liefde by
Met ekstra suiker en nog melk
Ek weet jy gee om vir my
Koor: In Namakwaland maak ons so
Kommagas se mense(is my mense)
In Namakwaland maak on so
Kommagas se mense(is my mense)
V2. Maak my wakker met jou opstaan brou
As die son net sy kop uitsteek
Dan sien ek kans vir die dag en vir die lewe wat wag
Stuur koppies liefde die wêreld in.
Pre-koor: Maak jou oorgawe met jou thè
Gooi ‘n bietjie liefde by.
Met ekstra suiker en nog melk
Ek weet jy gee om vir my.
Koor: In Namakwaland maak ons so
Kommagas se mense(is my mense)
In Namakwaland maak on so
Kommagas se mense(is my mense)
Brug: Ek loop die lang pad saam met jou
Hand aan hand om al die stories toe onthou.
Genade gemeng met rooi en swart tee
Jare in ‘n blik wil ek graag vir jou gee
Kommagas se mense
Koor: In Namakwaland maak ons so
Kommagas se mense(is my mense)
In Namakwaland maak on so
Kommagas se mense(is my mense)
Pre-koor: Maak jou oorgawe met jou thè
Gooi ‘n bietjie liefde by.
Met ekstra suiker en nog melk
Ek weet jy gee om vir my.
Koor: In Namakwaland maak ons so
Kommagas se mense(is my mense)
In Namakwaland maak on so
Kommagas se mense(is my mense)
