Vernon White- "Happy" A new voice from the inexhaustible talents of the Cape flats, 21 yea old Vernon is positioned to become the next rising star in a long line of great artists from Cape Town. Born and raised in Mannenberg, Vernon is a self-taught guitarist/singer who was initiated into playing by his uncle. He started learning to play the guitar in primary school already. A gifted composer evident by his self penned, he got his chance by being persistent with his passion for music. Vernon had a dream of owning his own guitar and while working in town close to Daru Salam Curio & Music Shop, he used to visit the shop regularly and play the guitar during his breaks. He became a regular feature at the shop where he would play and have an audience of people passing by the shop. This continued for about 3 months and finally he was able to afford to buy his guitar which made him scarce from the shop as he practiced his craft at home. After a few more months Vibrations Studio had been set up above the shop, Vernon came around the shop again only to be offered a chance of a lifetime to record his own music at the studio. He had his own self-penned song which impressed Mohamed. This led to Mohamed making an arrangement for the song to be produced by Nhlanhla Magagula a well-travelled and experienced musician. The result is the debut single, “Happy". The track is a joyful and upbeat tune off Vernon's upcoming EP of the same name. His sensitive vocal style is smooth in the vein of some of his major influences, which include Brian McKnight and Eric Clapton. Like many a great singer his career began in church when he was just ten years old. The track, recorded at Vibrations Studios in Downtown Cape Town is produced and remixed by Nhlanhla Magagula. And features Vernon on Guitar and Vocals. Co.Produced By: M.D. Fall. Published and Recorded at Vibrations Recording Studio.The single contains further remixes Jason bands (drum&bass) and Damien.
