Ruhan Du Toit

RUHAN DU TOIT is an award-winning South African singer-songwriter from Pretoria. This popular musician, known for his charming, energetic stage presence and impressive four-octave voice, has left a significant mark on the local and international music industry over the past three decades.

 

He is as much a part of Afrikaans culture as biltong and koeksisters. He grew up in Port-Elizabeth, released his first solo album at the age of eleven, and is particularly renowned for his exceptional rendition of the hit Sound of Silence, which has garnered over 11 million views on YouTube. Over the years, he has achieved numerous career highlights, including 4 singles, 27 albums - 6 of which achieved gold status, 4 platinum and 1 Diamond, an Aitsa Award in 2019, multiple radio hits, and performances on various major and popular music stages such as Innibos, Afrikaans is Groot, and Lexus Pop Classics. With an extensive repertoire spanning seven languages, he has also made an international name for himself, having had the opportunity to share the stage with country singer Kip Moore.

 

As a versatile musician who can not only sing but can play multiple instruments, he is equally at ease during a sold-out stadium performance as he is around an intimate bushveld fire with selected guests. He continues to work full-time with Coleske Group, a division of Warner Music Africa, on his music career and plans to release several new Afrikaans and English singles in the coming months, adding to his impressive arsenal of original music available on all streaming networks. Ruhan, with his witty sense of humour and honest sincerity, is a beloved artist among both young and old. He is very grateful for the opportunity to live his passion every day and share his unique talent with the world.
