Coenie de Villiers was born and bred in the Free State where he completed his post-graduate studies in Communication, Media Science and Marketing at Free State University . He studied classical piano and played his formal keyboard exams through UNISA. Coenie is known as the foremost writer/performer in Afrikaans, and critics universally regard his lyrics as being of a world-class standard. He has performed on virtually all of South Africa 's major stages, and has shared shows with the likes of Sibongile Khumalo, Gloria Bosman, Sipho Gumede, Laurika Rauch, David Kramer and a brace of other South African artists. Likewise, many South African artists have performed with him on his twelve albums, inter alia Jonathan Butler, Sipho Gumede, Gloria Bosman, Amanda Strydom, Afrika Mamas, Leslie Rae Dowling, Steve Newman, Amampondo, David Kramer, Brasse vannie Kaap and Karen Zoid. He has performed abroad in New Zealand , Canada , England , Holland and Belgium . Coenie has won numerous awards for his music including two SAMA awards for musical excellence. He is universally acknowledged as one of the most challenging and original singer/songwriters in South Africa , and has for many years bridged the musical divides between cultures in South Africa . Musically his career began in the late seventies when he released a single for which he wrote the music through EMI. The record went on to win a SARIE award for Most Promising Artist. As first and foremost a songwriter, Coenie found the experience creatively unsatisfying, and resolved not to record again if he could not hold complete creative sway over the product. At the beginning of the eighties, he met Paddy Lee Thorp of Mountain Records who afforded him the freedom to write, arrange, produce and perform his first album, the seminal Skoppensboer , which was released in 1982/83. The album featured Coenie's writing and performance skills as composer, lyricist, pianist and vocalist. The lyric of one song was by Pieter-Dirk Uys, and featured David Kramer doing a duo with Coenie. The album caused a furor in the conservative, mainstream Afrikaans market and most of the tracks were subsequently playbanned by the SABC. This album was followed by Die Reisiger , which featured, inter alia, Jonathan Butler and Steve Newman on guitars, and which went on to win two SARIE awards and a SCOTTY award. As with Skoppensboer , the album was engineered by Kevin Shirley, currently the producer of, amongst others, the band Aerosmith in America . Coenie again produced, wrote and performed the album. The SABC again playbanned several of the songs. Kruispaaie followed, an album steeped in the unrest of the middle to late eighties. The title track (referring to the Crossroads squatter camp) included live recordings of squatter evictions during a period where lyrics reflecting the unrest were not allowed. The album also included several live recordings of songs set to the text of award-winning author Hennie Aucamp. Coenie once again wrote, produced and performed the album, and infused it with a clean, crisp production quality that was as yet unheard in the mainstream Afrikaans market. Coenie lived on the island of Cyprus during the cusp of the eighties and nineties. He wrote, recorded and produced the album Amper Alleen in Cyprus and in Athens , Greece . Amper Alleen was the second SA album to be released on CD. On this quiet, introspective album, Coenie plays with some of the best Greek and Cypriot musicians, notably the bouzouki player Elias Elias. Coenie and his family returned to South Africa after the release of Nelson Mandela and the unbanning of the ANC. He released Hartland , an
Discography
Coenie de Villiers - Karoonagte click here to buy this album now This is a 'best of' early works. De Villiers had from the outset decided to address social and political issues though in a subtle way. While gaining industry support his recordings were largely ignored by the Afrikaans music buyers. He had also written fondly about the land itself and this compilation was his first real recognition by the media and the public at a time when Afrikaans music was being edged out along with the rulers of the country.

Coenie de Villiers - Hartland click here to buy this album now On this album Coenie shows strong emotions and politics. This is an interesting document of the time when the apartheid regime had all bit lost its grip. Coenie collaborate with various local artists to record Afrikaans songs of a wholly South African nature rather than being the domain of one cultural group. Though melancholic many of the tracks end with a welcome optimism. Musos involved Coenie de Villiers
Coenie de Villiers - Amper alleen click here to buy this album now Coenie was a black sheep on the Afrikaans music scene. He did not follow the tried route of songs about sport and 'braaivleis' (barbecue) to attract attention. He wrote serious songs about the war on the Namibian borders or about political and moral double standards. Though quietly applauded by Afrikaans intellectuals his important work was banned by state radio in South Africa. He left SA in 1986 to live in Cyprus for 2 years. This album was prepared in Cyprus and recorded in Athens, Greece, using local musicians. Musos involved Coenie de Villiers
