Joe Niemand is the frontman of Niemand, and has been writing music since he was a teenager, growing up in the Eastern Cape. He completed writing his first song at the age of just 17.
He fronted the band Niemand, which saw him crossover from being a songwriter behind the scenes into a rock star. The band’s debut single ‘Words’ was a huge hit, and spent months in the Top 40 of many charts. They have had several number ones, and his album ‘Reborn’ was nominated for a SAMA (South African Music Awards) award. Their second album ‘This Is War’ produced further hits and also received a SAMA nomination. In 2010 Joe took a bold move, and released his first solo album ‘Love: Scenes from Song of Songs’
In addition to his own albums, Joe has written songs for the films ‘Hansie’, international teen horror film ‘Slash’ and ‘Faith Like Potatoes’ and produced and written for other artists, including Dozi, Steve Hofmeyr, Anke and Heinz Winckler.
