Walt, a passionate driven singer/songwriter from Johannesburg, was first introduce on the South African airwaves in 2003. His sound is defined by a melancholic and warm-distinctive lead voice and his songs are strong, diving deep, with melodies that tend to resonate around one’s head the morning after.
It was an almost impossible dream that he chose to follow as an child. Surviving Leukemia, coming out of a family with non musical careers, he constantly had to push the boundaries.
In January 2007 Walt started recording the long awaited album “Until The End” with old time friend and legendary producer, Mark Beling, who is famous for his radio charting successes with: Mean Mr Mustard, Lindsay Mcguire, Jacques (Idols) and Changing Face.
The 11 track album contains flavours of pop, modern rock, grunge, alternative, adult contemporary and heartfelt ballads.
The first single, “Somewhere”, recently went to #1on Highveld’s Homebrew SA Top10 Chart and on Puk-fm.
In addition the song is currently on daytime rotation on 94.7, 5fm and campus stations.
The song’s music video created a public awareness for The National Missing Kid’s Bureau and Walt made headlines on news bulletins across Highveld, 702, K-FM and “Weekend Live” on SABC 2.
The single was also recently chosen as the official theme song for Missing Children SA Campaign Group.
The album, “Until the End” is now ready for release. Walt will be performing with his band around South Africa to promote this new record.
