After wowing audiences around South Africa, Cape Town-born singing sensation Fagrie Isaacs is ready to show Johannesburg audiences at The Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City why he is known as one of the best revered Luther Vandross tribute acts.

With almost 36 years of experience entertaining audiences across the world, Isaacs who was born and raised in Strandfontein, kicked off the show,Due to the popular demand from his supportive fans in SA as well as his incredible stage presence and soulful voice, Isaacs has chosen to kick off the National Tour this December in Johannesburg.

“In my line of work, I do not have many firsts left to experience, but I am so happy to say that this will be a first for me. It will also be the first for the Johannesburg audiences whose support has been amazing since I started on this journey,” he said. “I love the fact that so many people share the same love for this amazing artist with me. People often come to me after the show and will say things like; ‘Luther is smiling down on you, you did him proud. You sound just like Luther. When I close my eyes, I swear I’m listening to Luther himself’, I find it very rewarding that the audience feels that I can do justice to the icon that was Luther Vandross,” he said.

As a solo artist, he featured in quite a few local music productions in the Mother City. In 2014, he started his own events production company, Fi6 Events & Projects, producing sold-out events like FabuSolo featuring band artists who went solo and in 2015 – 2018 productions like FabuSOUL featuring artists and band members, included artists like The Rockets.

Fagrie also has a passion for the Malay choirs and is a Solo and Nederlands singer in the Malay choirs. The group Cape Malay Stars was invited to perform in New York at the iconic Carnegie Hall at the South African Ubuntu Festival in 2014.
