(Kurt Darren)
How did Kurt van Heerden, a bilingual boy from Pretoria who
dreamt of becoming an English pop star, become the biggest selling male
Afrikaans artist of his generation?
This week M-Net’s popular documentary series My Story, takes a trip down memory lane
to explore the trajectory of the life of Kurt Darren. From his childhood with
his free-spirited parents who raised the only bilingual family in their
Pretoria suburb, to failing in the English music market in South Africa and
heading off to Nashville, Tennessee, viewers will gain a glimpse into all the
trials and tribulations of Kurt’s early career and see how he managed to
reinvent himself into the massively successful star that he is today. Where did
the second name Darren come from, how did Kurt meet his beautiful wife Dunay,
and most recently, how did Kurt overcome major medical setbacks as a result of
a horrific car accident?
My Story, in which
some of the country's biggest personalities share the truth behind the
headlines and the real details of their life in the limelight, will be aired in
two timeslots:
Episode 6 of My Story
will be aired on M-Net Channel 101 at 19h30 and repeated on June 20 at 18h00.
