Hot on the heels of the release of his debut album and his victory on Ontbytsake (he won the songwriter’s competition), Muller Brandt is back in the spotlight with an upbeat Afrikaans song about a hunting trip with the boys.
WILDEBEES, which he co-wrote with Jattie de Beer, is based on his own farm experiences on his brother-in-law’s farm in All Days and reveals that each man has a wildebeest hidden inside.
“It is a humoristic song with a catchy tune that people will enjoy dancing to,” he shares about his second Afrikaans single.
The music video, filmed on location at Sikilele Farm, will be available soon and shows a few city boys learning how things are done on the farm.
“The fact that you don’t have to be good at everything to unleash your inner-wildebeest is the message I wanted to convey with this video,” Muller explains.
WILDEBEES is part of his debut album, Brand die Skepe, and follows in the footsteps of Moedertaal which was very well received and got playlisted on several major radio stations.
The song is also the theme song of the adventure program on VIA, Wildebees, which is also a very popular clothing brand.
Muller Brandt was born and raised in Pretoria and has been working in the music industry for the past twelve years. His dad’s love of country music ignited his own passion for singing and he has never given up on his dream to be a fulltime musician.
The thirty-year-old artist admits that Theuns Jordaan has had the biggest influence on his own style, but that he also has great admiration for stars like Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Boney M, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, John Mellencamp, Neil Diamond and Luke Combs.
He says that he is already working on material for his next album. But for now, he looks forward to taking a break at the end of the year and spending some quality time with his friends and family.
