RIAAN PRETORIUS RELEASES THE MOVING CHRISTIAN ROCK SONG ' STANDING TALL'

  

 

Looking over the landscape of the music industry as it is today, with its Autotune-tinged, hit driven songs that are dominating the airwaves; it’s certainly becoming harder to sift out truth from fiction.

Enter a new breed of singer/songwriters such as Riaan Pretorius.

100 % South African, Durban born Christian Singer Songwriter Riaan Pretorius is following in the footsteps of a new generation of innovators such as Brooke Fraser, Jason Mraz, Kari Jobe, Taylor Swift and Colbie Caillat; who are intent on bringing lyrics and music back together.

THIS IS THE DEBUT SINGLE - 'STANDING TALL'
taken off the forthcoming EP.


Riaan Pretorius grew up in a pre-democratic South Africa, in the East Coast city of Durban. The socio-political climate crafted a yearning for escape which led him to start writing songs at the age of 12. Attending his local church band rehearsals, he started applying his Classical Piano training to Contemporary Gospel Worship music that the churches were singing at the time.

Having taken classical piano lessons from the age of 8, Riaan found it liberating to be able to express himself through the freedom that gospel music provided. Freedom to engage the Creator…. A desire to write songs soon followed. He decided it was time to take his message to the world. A message that is as relevant as it is eternal. A message of Hope inspired by his relationship with Jesus Christ.
