It’s a triple-threat celebration for singer-songwriter Berenike Trytsman, better known as Berry, when she celebrates Heritage Month, her new single and the city of Cape Town on September 9.
The concert will take place in The Wave Theatre Cafe, 44 Long Street, Cape Town.
“Cape Town is my home, my heart belongs to Cape Town and performing here gives me a sense of pride that is hard to match. Seeing the faces of my fellow Capetonians brings me absolute joy, she said.
“I am looking forward to finally having a show that will express me for who I am and deliver fantastic music with my band,” said Berry who started music lessons at the age of eleven and gained notoriety in 2021 when she won Idols South Africa and was subsequently signed to the record label Kalawa Jazmee.
Berry says that music has been an integral part of her life from before she could even walk, born into a musical family with both her parents being former professional opera singers she won her first music competition at the age of fourteen.
Her latest song, Never Say Die, is said to be a true expression of, “me just being who I am and singing because it’s what I love to do”.
“This track is based on my experience while I was away at Idols from my family for four months. It was one of the hardest times in my life. It’s an anthem to never give up no matter how hard this time in your life is,” she said.
The song was produced by Music Blimp Productions, the music studio owned by her husband Renier Trytsman.
“He knows me better than I know myself, and he wrote the song. He’s also my drummer. My input came along when I had to help select the lyrics I wanted in the song and with his beautiful music I was able to add the vocal direction I wanted for the song,” she said.
The singer says she is working to bring even more music before the end of 2023, hinting at both an album and a tour.
“This show will be a journey of music from my past, present and future. It will showcase the genre and style that I enjoy singing and it will be the first time I can show my heart to my amazing followers. I cannot wait to be entertaining and put on an amazing show,” she said.
