ABOUT

Roan Ash is a multi-talented singer and songwriter from Pretoria with a modern-countryblues-

folk style. He started playing guitar in 2001, and in 2006 he started opening for other

independently. He launched it to a full house at the iconic Atterbury Theatre, and toured it

nationwide. He has performed at major art and culture festivals including Innibos and the

Fijnwyn Wine Festival. Roan was a contestant on the first season of The Voice, South

Africa, where he was instantly noticed by the music industry. In 2016, he co-wrote and

recorded the theme song of the feature film “Sy Klink Soos Lente” with Bouwer Bosch and

Dawie De Jager, which is receiving widespread acclaim. Roan joined the Inhoud Huis team

in 2016, where he is working with songwriters including Christoph Kotze (Appel) and Johan

live shows of his powerful songs. He combines his soothing crunch style vocals together

with meaningful songs and heartfelt performances. He describes his music as being inspired

by his life’s journey.

After digitally releasing his brand new album “Whiskey to my soul” in April, Roan has been

the talk of the town, not only locally but internationally as well. He has sold out the Atterbury

Theatre two weeks prior to his physical album launch on 22 May 2018.
