Werner Bekker

German:
Werner Bekker is a South African singer-songwriter whose music is like a deep breath for the soul. His deeply personal, narrative blend of folk and pop creates a space where people can feel seen, heard - and ultimately uplifted.
With over a decade of stage experience, his unique voice has not only led him to perform alongside international greats (such as Calum Scott, Hollow Coves, Amistat, Darren Kiely, A-HA, Jeremy Loops and Matthew Mole), but also to collaborate with UK artist Waiting for Smith on his upcoming song 'Just Rhythm' (as co-writer and co-producer).
Known for his honest style and thought-provoking lyrics, Bekker has established himself as a strong musical voice in both South Africa and Europe (appearances include BalconyTV, Sofar Sounds Berlin and renowned festivals such as A-Track, Oppikoppi and Splashy Fen). His songs, which have over 5 million Spotify streams to date, regularly resonate with fans in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and the USA.
