Journey
Ezra Lingeveldt is a Cape Town-born musician from Hanover Park, known for his soulful voice and impressive range as both a vocalist and instrumentalist. He began his musical path in church at age 10, learning drums, guitar, and bass before eventually focusing on vocals and piano.
Before music took center stage, Ezra was a promising sprinter and even competed as a Springbok athlete until a hamstring injury redirected his journey toward his first love, music. His big break came in 2002 when he reached the top six on the debut season of South African Idols, gaining national recognition.
He later recorded the Big Brother South Africa theme song, which earned him a SAMA award, and spent a decade performing across luxury venues in the Middle East. Now back in Cape Town and signed under Sony BMG, Ezra continues to perform across genres, reminding audiences that resilience often leads to purpose.
