Reets

Reets writes introspective lyrics (Eng. & Afr.) and pairs them with emotive verve and colourful vocal interplay. Her authentic stage presence and unconventional musical approach are often described as magical/magnetic.

Her admiration for blues and classic rock is evident in her timbre, weaving husky growls and powerful belts into soft alt-folk melodies. A self-taught guitarist, she dazzles with various finger-picking styles, genres, tunings and time signatures. Comparisons to artists like Florence Welch, Regina Spektor, Nora Jones, and Stevie Nix highlight her depth and versatility.

Her first Afrikaans, single, 'Spieël', found a spot on the coveted Spotify editorial playlist 'Nuwe Afrikaans' and continues to perform well. 'Spieël' and her EP ‘Bare’ were recorded and mixed by award-winning Jo Ellis. The track 'Cocoon,' beloved by fans, appeared on Katbok Radio and many personal playlists, it and ‘Disbelief’ were brought to life by talented producer/engineer, Jaco Naude. Her debut single, “Tea, Wine & Time,” a product of her own recording efforts, was released in 2019.

She performed at Splashy Fen, Benoni Gin & Beer, Innibos, Stroom, Galpalooza, Harmony & Connexion festivals in 2024. In November she had the honour of opening for Dan Patlanksy at Barnyard Theatre. She regularly plays at venues and events across GP. She was well-received at the popular Misty Waters festival, Hartswerkfees, Gypsy Party and Clarens Jamboree in 2023.
