Hello, and welcome to my website.
Here you will find information about me in the form of press-releases, write-ups, bio's and ciriculum vitaes, as well as more personal information about myself, my family and my career.
The site is still in development, so please do return again to see it once completed.
At present, suffice to say that I am involved in various professional occupational areas, as well as ministry-related areas. They are as follows:
Hosting 4 All - a website hosting and design company, but also applies my knowledge in the area of network administration, installation and maintenance. Along with this it also provides support and service options for individuals and companies alike
Studio 1 - an audio and video recording and editing studio, specialising in music recordings and CD albums. Obviously we also do voice-over work, jingles, backing tracks etc.
Live music. I am involved in several bands, as well as music ministries, and I also operate a solo career including piano-driven instrumental music, and as a vocalist. Below are the various organisations I either operate or am involved in:
- Piano by Riaan - this is the brand for my piano-driven instrumental music. It includes light Jazz and light Classical music as well as the promotion of a series of Piano driven instrumental CD releases.
- Lounge Around - this is my lounge band. They perform lounge, light jazz, light classical and mood music at events to add a little class and elegance to the event.
- Symphony Music Ministry - this is where I am involved in ministry.
- Friends 4 Christ - a music ministry where I am involved mainly in production, musical direction and training.
Kinders - I often minister in the area of raising children according to Biblical principles, and have written a book in the form of an "owner's manual" on the subject.
Praat Afrikaans - this is a community website where I promote the use of Afrikaans on the Internet so as to do my small part to keep the language alive and growing.
