About Me

My name is Pierre Opperman, a.k.a (oppie), and I am an artist who plays “Acoustic guitar/vocalist, and was formerly a drummer.
I have been playing guitar for approximately twenty-six years.
In Oct 2001, I recorded a 2x song demo-cd called “Karma” at Manley Studios, Pretoria.
“Who’s to know” and “In & Out” were produced by Sean Manley of “Manley Studios”, who also engineered/mixed the songs and did lead-guitar-fills on both tracks.

In April 2008, I recorded an EP, consisting of 5x songs at Peace of Eden Recording Studios, Knysna (www.peaceofeden.co.za)
• Money –less
• If you Believe
• Changes
• Motion
• Runaway

Have just completed a new song “Desert light” which will be recorded in November 08, and included on the album.
Will add more songs, on this album in the near future.
