Introduction
SINGING:
Verity is an acclaiming South African singer and songwriter whose debut album 'Journey' gained widespread media attention for innovation in the music industry and is mentioned in Jeffery Deaver's James Bond novel 'Carte Blanche'. Her first single 'Angel' was warmly received by national radio stations and her songs have been included on numerous film soundtracks, including a CSBC Africa commercial.

“Verity is an exceptional artist in that she is both an accomplished singer and a moving speaker. She has the ability to touch everyone in the audience, irrespective of their age, gender or
background.” (Derryn Campbell, Awesome SA, ABSA Stadium, Durban)
"Verity's lyrics are a fresh inspiration combined with the best that acclaimed artists such as Dido and Beth Orton have to offer. This album is worth every penny." (Fan Review, iTunes)
"Verity fuses the very best of the performing arts with a very powerful message that inspired staff and embedded the theme of our event on the hearts and minds of those present. She uses music to capture the imagination, which goes far beyond entertainment value of her performance. Throughout the ages, artists have lead humanity through creative reflection and inspiration. Verity embodies this archetype powerfully.” Roger Maitland (Director, Life Lab)

"I was most fortunate to be able to acquire the services of Verity to open an art awards evening at the SAB head office in Johannesburg. She had her audience riveted by her presentation and afterwards I heard many people say how they had stood there with “goose bumps” and had felt truly inspired and uplifted by her words."
