Biography

Selim Kagee released his debut album Cry For Love with the major label EMI Records in 2012. An eclectic mix of original compositions and evergreen gems peppered with pop, classical and cinematic influences – all give Kagee’s the opportunity to introduce its versatility and diverse range while enticing listeners and fans with his warm, richly timbered voice.
With an elegant and expressive stage presence, Kagee has since gone on to stage many orchestra concerts, performing evergreen ballads and stirring originals using his unique combination of both pop and operatic vocal styles. Audiences ... can expect to hear timeless classics such as “Can’t Help Falling In Love”, “Besame Mucho”, “Il Mondo”, and chart-toppers such as “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”. Selim cleverly links his songs with interesting and often hilarious anecdotes of his life and journey through music.
Kagee's career highlights have included winning the hearts of all South Africans by performing the South African National Anthem live on international television from Perth, Australia for the Boks vs Wallabies rugby match in 2014, as well as being invited to perform at the prestigious Sergio Franchi Memorial Concert in Connecticut, USA. In 2012 Selim was a featured guest artist with the chart-topping Irish group Celtic Woman on their Home for Christmas album.

Meet the Act

Selim- After I attended a lecture on singing when I was 20, this woman said anyone can sing if you learn a technique. Which I then did, and after over a decade of training, my voice grew strong and controlled.
I started acting in plays and progressed to musical theatre, and eventually the roles got bigger and bigger, and my confidence grew. But performing one’s own solo show and not hiding behind a character in a play was a huge step. But I think I’ve found my style of performance after years of experimentation and stage experience and sticking to one’s strengths as a performer and br ... inging out your authentic self to an audience by telling real life stories. This is what I found helps me connect with an audience.
