Werner Beukes – Music Producer
“Song is king.” – Werner Beukes
Born on March 25, 1984, in Cape Town, South Africa, this Multi-Award Winning Producer’s life has been about music from a very young age. He started taking music and singing lessons when he was seven years old and is a classically trained pianist and accomplished guitarist. If you should ask Werner which instrument he can’t play, his answer always ends with “not yet” …
At the age of 18, he was the In-house Producer for Fantasia Music, and by 2003 he became the exclusive, Cape Town-based producer for Select Music, which was known for some of the biggest hits in the South African Music Industry in the early 2000s, many of which were produced by Werner.
In 2006 he joined forces with EMI Music, SA, where he produced some of their biggest hits for A-list recording artists such as Steve Hofmeyr.
In 2011 he returned to Cape Town, where he worked with Select Music, now owned by Sony Music until he established his independent Recording Studio in 2015, where he continued his Hit-Making career as the preferred producer for many an A-list Recording Artist.
With his home base still in Cape Town, he is finally living his dream of composing and producing songs in partnership with Sunette Bridges at Rivers & Bridges Music Studio in North Carolina, USA.
