About

Petrus Hermanus Nel (known as Pierre Nel) was born on 30 October 1992 and grew

up in a small forestry town called White River in Mpumalanga. He is currently a singer-

songwriter living in Cape Town, South Africa.

 

He recently qualified as a medical doctor at the University of Pretoria where

he spent 6 years working on his music career behind the scenes. His first

single (Al Waarvoor Ek Leef) is to be released early in 2017.

 

Pierre Nel uncovered his love for music when picking up a guitar at the age of 13 and

immediately began writing his own music. He matriculated from his high school

(Uplands College) in 2010 with academic honors and was awarded as the Dux Pupil

in his year.

 

The following year he started with his medical studies in Pretoria but never stopped

writing music. He released a single “Kan Jy Bybly” to the album Tekno 2 in 2014 which

kick-started his collaboration with the talented producer Ferdinand Skead – the producer

of his new EP track.

 

Pierre Nel currently works as a medical intern at Tygerberg Hospital  whilst simultaneously

kicking off his new music career in association with Nuelight Productions.
