POPSTAR ERNIE B ST CLAIR BACK IN CAPE TOWN FOR OCTOBER SHOW

Cape Town, 20 September 2010: Urban pop sensation Ernie B St Clair is back in Cape Town for a one-off performance at Strata Lounge in Landsdowne on Sunday 3 October 2010. Ernie joins forces with his very own Popstars from Pipeline Records to put on a showcase of the label’s up and coming talent. Tickets are R50 at the door and the show begins at 9pm. Included on the bill are Clint C, Soul Savers, Sundae, Candy, Sam Melody, Shaun Adams, Abby Jay and Juice.

Pipeline Records will also be using this opportunity to recruit new talent so all budding singers wishing to enter the music industry are encouraged to meet up with Ernie and crew to discuss various possibilities around joining the label.

Formerly from the Coca Cola Popstars group Afro-z, Ernie is currently receiving extensive airplay nationally on radio with his current single It’s the Music. His much-anticipated solo album is out in stores later in the year. Ernie is currently taking on the singing and dancing role of legendary performer Michael Jackson in the popular Barnyard Theatre show The Big Five, which is touring nationally at the moment.

Ernie B St. Clair first entered onto the music scene as one of ten finalists in the Coca Cola Pop Stars Competition. The finalists were given an opportunity by Virgin Records and Tartan to excel in the music industry and two months later contracts were signed and Afro-Z was born. This lead to an album and numerous chart-topping songs across the country. The band was nominated for numerous awards including a Channel O Music Video Award in 2004.

Ernie B St. Clair has had a passion for music from an early age. Michael Jackson is one of his main inspirations and he has been impersonating him since the age of 4 and currently plays the late mega-star in a show running at the Barnyard Theatre across the country. Arts and culture is in his blood and Ernie B St. Clair hopes to make great change in the South African entertainment industry by being actively involved in talent scouting and development in underprivileged areas throughout the country. His love for the entertainment industry extends beyond music – he studied both drama and is a qualified sound engineer. A newspaper described Ernie B St. Clair as having “loads of energy and appeal. In sweet voice and nifty moves.” His solo album is due out later in 2010.
