Triveno
Bio
Triveno is a singer/songwriter from Paarl. He writes and sings about life, love, and everything that happens in between. He grew up in the flats of Lantana Street in Paarl where gangsterism and drug abuse was the norm. Many of his childhood friends are drug addicts today. He chose music and his faith has helped him through challenging times.
He learned to play guitar at his local church at the age of 13. He soon started writing his own songs and performed at events.
His first professional recording career was in 2012 at Franschhoek Recording Studios with Uys Visser. In 2014, he released his first 10-track album, Brighter Day. He has released a number of singles and also a six-track EP with his band Southern Lights between 2016 and 2019. Songs like ‘Looking for love’, ‘New Shoes’, ‘Alive With You’ written by Triveno are also playlisted on RSG, Radio Tygerberg, CCFM and Groot FM to name a few.
In 2017, his wife Alecia lost her battle against cancer. She was also a founding member of the band Southern Lights. It was a difficult time for Triveno and their daughter Gabriella who was only six years old at that time. This was a time of deep reflection and soul searching for him and he also thought of giving up on his music career.
In 2018, he got married again to Christelle and she has inspired him to get back into performing, writing, and recording music again. 2019 was a new beginning for Triveno when he released new music as a solo artist. Songs like ‘Not Perfect’ and ‘Foreign Land’ did well on the South African Radio Scene. “Not Perfect” got to No 1 on Cape Town Radio Station CCFM’s Top 10 chart and No 8 on Algoa FM’s Top 30 Chart in the Eastern Cape.
In 2020, two singles – ‘Ignite’ and ‘Lost in Berlin’ – were released. Ignite went to No 1 on the CCFM Top 10 Chart. At the beginning of the 2020 lockdown, he did the 21 Day Challenge and wrote 21 songs. He shared a video of each song on his social media platforms during that time.
In December 2020, he recorded six more songs to complete his new album titled Walking Tall, which is planned for release in 2021.
