Journey
Pieter Koen is a highly accomplished and multi-talented individual within the South African entertainment landscape, whose career effortlessly bridges radio broadcasting, television presentation, and musical performance over more than two decades. Known for his lively and engaging demeanor, Koen is a prominent personality among Afrikaans-speaking communities and professionally utilizes his birth name.
His most notable television role is as the enduring and charismatic host of Jukebox, the popular Saturday evening music program airing on the kykNET channels. His presenting repertoire also includes contributions to the lifestyle show Kwêla. Koen established strong roots in radio broadcasting, having served as a prominent DJ and presenter for various stations, including the widely listened to Jacaranda FM.
As a musician, Koen is a respected Afrikaans singer with several hit tracks, such as "Skud Jou 'Biscuit'", "3 Susters van Drie Susters", and "Tattoo". He established his musical foundation during his youth as a member of the acclaimed Drakensberg Boys Choir. While his initial album, Run with Me, was in English, his work predominantly flourishes within the Afrikaans language market.
In early 2025, Koen and his family started a new adventure by moving from South Africa to the Houston area in Texas, USA. This relocation marks a new phase in his life, though he continues to engage with his audience and manage his ongoing presence as a cherished figure in South African entertainment.
