Charlize Berg
[2013]
I am a talented 21 year old South African lady that has been singing from a young age. My parents discovered that I have an exceptional voice when I was 12, and encouraged me to start singing. At first I sang at small functions, but as I grew older I participated in a few competions like the highly recommended talent competition for young artists (Artistic Gauteng) were I took gold in 2 categories namely Classical and Light music Award.
In 2006/2007 I was chosen to represent my country in the Global Harmony Peace Tour to Japan. We were a group of 9 children chosen to be ambassadors for our country and to tour throughout Japan singing as a group and individually. There we had the opportunity to perform before groups of people as well as participate in radio and television talk shows.
As from 2008/9 I joined well-known South African singer Mr. Kevin Leo (Classical) where we went on a Sentimental Tour in Cape Town and recorded our first CD together called "Sentimental" that did very well with South African audiences. I also recorded a song (The Prayer) at Coleske Artists for their Christmas CD that was released December 2009 in the local markets.
As for 2010 I got a record deal with Select Music, one of South Africa's top record companies. There I had the opportunity to record duet's with the best of South Africa's talent like Kurt Darren, Romanz and Heinz Winckler. In 2011 I recorded my first Solo Album "Charlize Berg" with songs like Tenderly, Nobody Like me, You & I, Waar is jy Romeo and Hurt.
I'm still working on my own repetuar, but love singing the music of my idols like Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. I am a hard working lady with great potential and have the whole package to make it in being successful.
