With the release of his 2004 debut album, Melkstraat Confessions, Jan Blohm not only showcased his unique blend of poetry and blues, but also established himself as a fresh new voice in Afrikaans rock. A former officer in the South African Air Force, he brushed that aside to fashion a music career. He's since taken home the Best African Rock Album at the South African Music Awards. Inspired by the poems of Breyten Breytenbach, this raspy singer's hits highlight his range.
