Career

Nataniël le Roux launched his career in 1987 with the release of his first single, Maybe Time. Since then he has released fifteen studio- and two live- albums, staged more than eighty original theatre productions and published twentyone books. In 1997 he also released a four-track EP entitled The Diva Devine with opera singer Mimi Coertse.[2] His many theatre shows, often staged at the Johannesburg casino Emperor's Palace, won him multiple awards.[3][4][5][6]

Nataniël manages a company specialising in lifestyle goods called Kaalkop, which means "bald" in Afrikaans, but implies "honest" or "unpretentious".

After starring in the TV series Another Life With Nataniël (1998-1999) and Project Fame (2004), Nataniël created and hosted Die Nataniel Tafel, a cooking and entertainment program in five seasons (2012-2014), on the South African television channel kykNET.[7][8] In 2014 he starred in the South African TV drama Almon Henry which he also wrote.[9] In recent years he has created and hosted five seasons of his TV show Edik van Nantes (2015–2020) on the same channel alongside his brother, Erik le Roux.[10]

During live musical performances, he is often accompanied on stage by pianist Charl du Plessis, or the Charl du Plessis Trio.

Nataniël is a column writer for Sarie magazine since 2002, and he recently published the first part of his first memoirs.[11]
