Have a good week and make it count. This week I'm working on some final mixes for a whole bunch of songs, recording foley, mixing film audio, finishing up a new song and a new cover! What's your plan for the week? @carmen.platt took these cool quirky photos. Next to her new bookshelf. #musician #foley #artist #smile #photo #newweek #monday #mixingengineer #musician #bookshelf #sonneblom #lekkerman (at Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCTGFvcBTv3/?igshid=127crixngl0bx

Hi guys! Here is a new video and composition I created a week ago! I was a bit busy with other projects, so I couldn't finish this one until now. I really love space and the Universe and the number 42. So, I wrote this synthwave type song and got public domain footage of space animation and videos and synced it up with my song. I'm keen to visit space one day. Enjoy!

I've been working on a lot of new songs! I had a lot of time to think about things during this Lockdown period. I'm keen to share it with all of you. Thanks for the continued support. Stay safe during the Lockdown.

Stay safe during the next 21 days everyone. Time to reflect on the road we've traveled and where we are going to. I promise you that the 3rd photo is not photo shopped. I'm going to work on some new music close to the seaside. May your time also be relaxing and productive. #road #travel #photo #creative #n2 #highway #corona #covid_19 (at N2) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NHahkBXP2/?igshid=quz0m5mk34ym

Can you trust a guy in an avo shirt? He is picking strawberries and asking you "let's turn up the beet, we make a good pear so let's avocuddle"? #takemebacktodecemeber #avoshirtguy #lamejokes #funny #avohejymoetlag #pickuplines #farm #strawberry #aarbeie #mmhmm #threeleftsdontmakearight #skyedance #mountainlion #hashtag (at Redberry Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7n8H-6hDC_/?igshid=1952vyhvswe14

Ek was vanaand op @real7delaan! Wat 'n groot voorreg! Eks baie dankbaar vir al die cool geleenthede wat oor my pad kom! #wowie Ek het 'n bietjie orrel gespeel in 'n baie hartseer episode.

Eks baie bly ek het @blydesmit by Meraki Nights ontmoet. #7delaan #acting #sabc2 #soapie #sepie #musiek #orrel #lekker #tv #sabc #actor #grammy #oscar #2020 (at Hillside) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7JuShIh5_4/?igshid=o7dt42dr9akd

Gabriel and I took a swim in Heroldsbay's Tide Pool which my sister captured with her phone's camera, the other day. After that we went for coffee at a local place where we met our mom. We spoke about depression, what causes it and how you can fight it and overcome it. Also how social media can play a role in your life. How we don't need to compare ourselves to others, because we are all on a different journey going and coming from different places. Let us all walk in the way which is set before us and not try walk in someone else's way. #sea #brothers #heroldsbay #tidepool #depression #mentalhealth #journey #swem #refresh (at Heroldsbay Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ILPzLhKn8/?igshid=12y7jw2yxzos4

Tonight I tried creating something cool on @_adobeillustrator_ made by @adobe with this photo. But, alas, it did turn out so well. So, here is the original photo. I'll try again tomorrow.
