Cindy-Louise

Independent artist Cindy-Louise has been making waves in the global music industry with her unique writing style and captivating tunes. The South African-born Singer-Songwriter (now residing in The Netherlands) released her debut album ‘Humanity’ in 2020 to rave reviews. Despite only starting her career in 2019, she has already amassed over 300k Spotify Streams and 360k YouTube Plays for her charismatic songs, and enjoyed features in Huisgenoot Magazine, News24 Lifestyle, with radio plays on stations like Jacaranda FM.

“I always thought I couldn’t write my own music, but then I realized I had so much fun creating music and it’s really a great outlet for me. When I hear how many people are touched or inspired by my songs, it makes me so happy because I want to inspire and help people.”

Cindy-Louise loves keeping things fresh, switching up her unique music style, ranging from writing and performing Pop, to focussing on Rock in 2023. She elatedly exclaims that “It’s going to be a wild ride”! She will be playing shows in South Africa end-Feb / beginning-March and release her new single end of March.

“I usually write my music at home, either by my piano, or I make a beat/use samples to get the base of the song. Then I move onto the lyrics and from there I usually chat with some producers who can do additional instrumentation for me, I always love working with other creatives”.

At 16 years old Cindy-Louise began singing and took piano lessons, following a strict classical training program. She majored in Music Philosophy whilst focussing on Classical-and-Jazz voice. She attended the Mediterranean Opera Festival Program in Italy in 2018 and 2019, studying and performing the roles of Despina (Cosi Fan Tutte) and Susanna (The Marriage of Figaro). In 2019 she immigrated to The Netherlands.
