Pieter is a very experienced and entertaining professional solo "covers" performer that is equally at home on stage with a duo, trio or full band. With 43+ years of experience performing live, and a solo repertoire of more than 450 cover songs spanning a wide variety of genres, he has performed at some of the top 5-star hotels in the Middle East over the last 21 years.
Born & raised in South Africa, Pieter received his first guitar as a birthday gift at the age of 8 and has been performing on stage since the age of 12. In 2001 he had an opportunity to travel to Abu Dhabi to work at the Hilton Hotel as entertainer and has since performed in Oman, Bahrain, UAE and Qatar at various 5-star hotels and high-end venues.
A prolific blues, rock, pop, reggae & country guitarist and an accomplished vocalist, Pieter is also a tireless perfectionist and excellent sound engineer, responsible for his incredibly high-quality backing tracks, as well as excellent live sound. He also performs “unplugged” acoustic sets and can tailor his shows to the client’s requirements.
