Anton Botha has grown steadily since joining the music scene in 2005. He is now ready to reach new heights. The coming year looks exciting, with shows confirmed across South Africa. Fans can expect to see him at bars, festivals, private lounges, and big corporate events. He also has new original music on the way.
Since 2019, Anton and his team have focused on corporate entertainment, creating tailor-made productions for different companies. Each show fits the client’s theme or message. The team can handle small private shows or large stage productions. Their crew includes musicians, singers, dancers, aerialists, and acrobats. They perform across any music style, and all music is produced by BluEyesRecords.
Anton started performing in primary school, sharing the stage with legends like Coenie de Villiers, Anneli van Rooyen, and Randall Wicomb. In 2003, he was named a finalist in the ATKV Crescendo competition. By 2008, he earned a SAMA nomination for Best Afrikaans Pop Album and received a Golden Award for his work on Country Kersfees and Country Konings 1, both selling over 20,000 copies. In 2016, he was nominated for Best Rock Album at the Ghoema Awards.
Anton is also a respected songwriter. He has written songs for artists like Juanita du Plessis, Karen Ferreira, Thys die Bosveldklong, Wynand Strydom, Karlien Husselman, and Izak Davel. He has toured with Robbie Wessels, Wynand Strydom, and Thys die Bosveldklong. His voice and charm quickly made him a favorite in South Africa.
His music has been featured in magazines like Huisgenoot, Vrouekeur, and Rapport, and he has appeared on TV shows such as Jukebox, Kwela, and DKNT2 on KykNET. His songs are often on national radio playlists and music charts.
Music critics have praised his fresh sound. As Kurt Darren said in Rapport Tydskrif (2006), “Every now and then, a new artist like Anton Botha comes along and truly impresses me.”
An Anton Botha performance is never the same twice. He mixes songs, takes audience requests, and even composes live on stage. His deep knowledge of music and love for the ’80s sound, especially Dire Straits, shine through every show.
Anton Botha continues to prove that true talent, passion, and connection keep music alive.
