Description

This week we welcome Chris Erasmus, an up-and-coming country artist with a story unlike any other. Originally from Zimbabwe, Chris brings a fresh perspective to a genre rooted in American tradition.

This is what we talked about in this episode:

  • Growing up in Zimbabwe and discovering music early on
  • Entering the world of country from outside the U.S.
  • His background in musical theatre and performing on major stages
  • How classical training influences his songwriting and sound
  • The experience of moving to the U.S. and working on ranches
  • The growing country music scene in Africa
  • Reflections on artists like Keith Urban and what global country music looks like today

Chris’s story is proof that country music isn’t just an American sound but a universal language for storytelling and heart.
