Loren Erasmus – The Nightingale from Paarl

Loren Erasmus – The Nightingale from Paarl

Loren Erasmus was born in Paarl and has been singing since the tender age of four. She would go out and perform for all the neighbours every time her Mom bought her a new dress.

She became serious about her singing after she took part in the Global Spotlight Awards Competition where she won several gold medals for her solo and duet performances. Her angelic voice and the warmth and passion she puts into her performances has helped her build a loyal fan base.

She has appeared in “Soul” at the Cultivaria Festival, Phantom of the Opera at the Cultivaria Festival in 2010, Grand West Casino and at numerous corporate events.

She has done solo performances at various festivals with her songs paying tribute to musical greats like Norah Jones, Adele & Celine Dion. 

A highlight for Loren was when she performed in a musical with her music mentor South African diva Natalia Da Rocha. Another one was when she had her first sold out concert.

Loren received formal vocal training at La Musique School of Arts under the tutelage of the late Andrew Strauss and later on at the Frank Pietersen School of Music.

This vibrant classical and contemporary vocalist gets inspiration from soulful music that speaks from the heart.

Loren says she is inspired by the tenacity and continuous hard work of artists that strive to do and deliver their best at all times.

She listens to varied musical genres but Loren says: “It will have to move me to listen to it”

She dreams of performing in London one day with a large orchestra accompanying her and singing a duet with the likes of Josh Groban, Andrea Boccelli or Michael Buble.

Loren performs at corporate and private functions in the evenings and over weekends and is striving to make singing her fulltime career, never giving up on her dream.

This Valentine’s Day Loren will be performing at the Afrikaanse Taalmonument in a concert inspired by love. Performing on the same stage will be SA Idols runner up, Gift Gwe and solo artist Tye Platinum with a live accompaniment and featuring comedian Ashley Pienaar.

Don’t miss out on the magic of this great up and coming musical talent.
