Hippokrates.

Omdat hulle glo dat elke groeplid, liriek en melodie bydra tot wie hulle in geheel is, het hulle gedink dat di\u00e9 naam baie gepas sou wees toe hulle in 2020 saam begin musiek maak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hulle het onderskeidelik fisioterapie en medies studeer en mekaar ontmoet toe hulle deel was van die Hippokrates-serenadegroep in die koshuis. Aanvanklik was albei deel van ander groepe, maar het later begin saam musiek maak toe dit nie uitgewerk het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hulle beskryf hulle styl as <em>\u201cpoprock-musiek met \u2019n akoestiese hart, wat ingekleur word deur elektroniese klanke en kleurvolle lirieke\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anrich het vanjaar aan <em>Die Kontrak<\/em> deelgeneem as Demi Lee se keuse en hulle het ook onlangs die voorreg gehad om vir haar te open by \u2019n konsert.

Hy was nog altyd lief vir musiek, maar het eers op die ouderdom van 19 begin kitaar speel en sing. Buiten vir sy studies, is hy ook besig om sy privaat vlieglisensie te voltooi en meen hy dat hy ook daarvan sou hou om \u2019n vlie\u00ebnier te wees. Hy hou van \u2019n wye verskeidenheid musiek en vind veral aanklank by John Mayer, One Republic, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Bryan Adams, Linkin Park en Die Heuwels Fantasties. Hy glo daaraan dat geleenthede nie in jou skoot val nie en dat jy dit vir jouself moet skep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Werner<\/strong> is die groep se hoof kitaarspeler en kom van Bloemfontein. Musiek was nog altyd een van sy groot passies en hy speel al kitaar en klavier vandat hy in die laerskool is. Sy gunsteling-genres is rock, blues en alternatiewe rock en hy meen dat musikante soos Jimi Hendrix, Jack Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan en John Mayer almal \u2019n invloed gehad het op sy eie styl. Buiten vir musiek en sy studies, geniet hy dit om nuwe stokperdjies te probeer en glo dat jy \u2019n goeie skoot harde werk en geluk aan jou kant moet h\u00ea om suksesvol te wees in die musiekbedryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die aanslag van <strong>Legkaart <\/strong>se nuwe enkelsnit, <em><strong>EK IS DAAR<\/strong><\/em>, is vars en nuut en \u2019n goeie aanduiding van wat van hulle volgende enkelsnit en musiekvideo, wat in Oktober beskikbaar sal wees, verwag kan word.
