19h00: Matt Gardiner
Matt Gardiner is a multi-talented
singer-songwriter, musician, and producer from Pietermaritzburg, who combines
his strong vocals, and guitar with a looping pedal for an upbeat, vibey, and
captivating performance.
He made his South African national debut in
2016 when he became one of the Top 37 contestants of South African Idols. He
has since shared stages with artists such as Matthew Mole, Majozi, Desmond and
the Tutus, December Streets, Prime Circle, Micasa, Arno Carstens, and Just
Jinjer, as well as international pop duo Neon Dreams, to name a few.
He describes his music as acoustically
written and transformed into a uniquely different pop sound with electronic
production, deep and melodic bass-lines which can also be experienced in his
solo or full band performances.
His single Brown Hair, Brown Eyes
has been heard across radio stations nation-wide and even went on to taking the
#1 spot, closely tailed by his follow up single Believer which has at
the time of writing reached number 2 on the 5FM Pop chart.
