Award-winning singer,
composer, performer, multi-
instrumentalist (piano,

keyboard, organ, guitar,
recorder), engineer and

playwriter Marthie Nel
started her career in
Newcastle, South Africa on

the steps of a temporary
classroom: singing to her

friends all the Girl Scout
songs she knew, later
refusing to attend choir

practice because she wanted
to sing alone. She would

sing, direct, and write for
small chamber choirs while
still in school.

Marthie received classical

piano and voice training,
with a dream of writing and
singing her own music. In

her tours she found her
voice and style…she would

not just sing: she would sing
cabaret!
