Heinrich Frans

Heinrich Frans is a singer, songwriter and radio presenter, born and raised in Elsies River and Matroosfontein in Cape Town, South Africa. Having been surrounded by classical music since birth through his Grandfather and Father's involvement in various choral and classical music projects, it was only a matter of time before Heinrich allowed himself to be consumed by all things music. This undying love for music has culminated in several performances with some of the world’s finest artists, as well as a sustainable offering to the arts as an avid supporter of youth development through his contributions as a Vocal Coach and Deputy Principal at Cape Music Institute and his work as a presenter at Fine Music Radio. These and other magnificent musical and artistic experiences has led to his decision to embark on a creative journey to document his solo, debut release under the auspices of his own record label, Beyond the Wall Music.
