Werner Bekker

In the organizer's words:

German:
Werner Bekker is a South African singer-songwriter whose music is like a deep breath for the soul.
His deeply personal, storytelling blend of folk and pop creates space for listeners to feel seen, heard and ultimately inspired.
With over a decade of artistic presence, his unique voice has taken him from collaborative performances with international greats such as Calum Scott, Hollow Coves, Amistat, Darren Kiely, A-HA, Jeremy Loops and Matthew Mole to co-producing the upcoming song 'Just Rhythm' with UK artist Waiting for Smith, due for release in 2025.
Known for his honest style and introspective lyrics, Bekker has made a name for himself both in South Africa (with appearances on BalconyTV and Sofar Sounds as well as concerts at legendary festivals such as A-Track, Oppikoppi and Splashy Fen) and internationally. With over 5 million Spotify streams to date, his songs regularly resonate with fans in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and the USA.
URKOMIC. EMOTIONAL. CONTENTEDLY HUMAN.
