He developed a passion for narrative-driven music early in life, later building a professional career that merges traditional country influences with a distinctly South African character. He entered the recording industry in 2013 with his debut album "4 Keeps," which introduced tracks such as “Los My Hart” and “For Keeps,” helping him gain attention in both the Afrikaans pop and country crossover markets. His follow-up albums, "Wie Is Jy?" (2014) and "Rondloper" (2016), further expanded his audience, with “Sleutel Van My Heart” becoming one of his standout releases.
In 2019, Visagie paid tribute to classic country traditions through his Old School Country series; these projects combined original recordings with interpretations of well-known country standards. Signed to Vonk Musiek, he has continued releasing new material, including “Die Nag” and collaborations such as “Heart On The Line (JaKeS Remix)” with Amoré Rudman.
