Rush immediately knew she had a surefire act for her South African tour when she heard Romanz’s powerful rendition of her hit song, Power of Love. In fact, the pop star has fallen in love with the incredible talent in South Africa, which is why she has invited both Romanz and the renowned Drakensberg Boys Choir to perform with her. “We are thrilled to be sharing the stage with her as we are huge fans,” say the foursome.

Rush will most likely be taking her relationship with the super-hot boy band even further as she is considering recording with them in the near future.

Romanz consists of four hugely talented young singers who bring both good looks and a diverse musical style to the group. Burgerd (Adriaan) Botha has mastered the contemporary pop sound whereas the youngest member, Christopher Lee Viljoen, is the tenor with a vocal range of three octaves plus an impressive pure falsetto. Adam Barnard is a lyrical baritone who adds a softness and sensitivity to the lyrics while Andre Venter provides bass baritone and has the ability to perform with a wonderful sense of passion and emotional intensity.

After a stunning live performance on local turf in 2008, which had audiences on their feet, they were catapulted to success and since then they have been reaching for the stars. Their albums have reached gold, platinum and double platinum status and they have won almost every prestigious music award on offer since their inception, including SAMA awards the likes of Best Newcomers, Best Video, Best Song, and Best Group.

Romanz brings a fresh, unique sound to their original songs coupled with some well-loved classic standards. With their classically-trained voices they are renowned for producing rich, opulent harmonies, which they deliver against a dramatic soundscape courtesy of master re-mixer Ash Howes (of One Direction fame).

The group has enjoyed some prominent international performances. They were invited to sing alongside Andrea Bocelli at the wedding of Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock in Monaco. They have also performed as the supporting act to world-renowned voice artist, Katherine Jenkins.

Following on their African Dream album, Romanz has become so popular in their home-country South Africa that they recently sold out a seven thousand seater arena and are preparing to create the same following in Europe. The quartet is about to go big with My Angel, their first single release in the UK. They have also been working with Howes recording new tracks in English for their UK album, recently travelling there to showcase their unique take on contemporary pop to the media. They were received with much acclaim.

Now, this quartet will be performing at Jennifer Rush’s highly anticipated whirlwind South African tour, which will take place at the Cape Town International Convention Theatre, on Friday, 26 and Saturday, 27 April; and in Johannesburg at the Theatre of the Marcellus at Emperors Palace, on Friday, 3 and Saturday, 4 May.

Romanz are preparing to give their South African fans a performance to remember. “This is an incredible opportunity for us. We have performed for world-famous classical music artists but now is our chance to bring everything that we have to the stage of an iconic pop singer,” say the boys.

Booking for Jennifer Rush in concert is open at Computicket.
