About Us:
Award-winning South African artist,
LOUISE DU TOIT, is a musician, singer,
composer, arranger, writer, actress,
lyricist, vocal teacher and painter.
Her two new albums, "JUST LOVE" and
"ODE TO MAGNIFICENCE", were recently
released on the web on March 14,
2012. "ODE TO MAGNIFICENCE"
immediately went on to the top selling
list for Greece, next to the albums of
Greek axemaster Theodore Ziras and
jazz fusion artist Yiorgos Fakanas,
who collaborated with Dave Weckl, Mike
Stern and Bob Franceschini on his
"Domino" album. LOUISE DU TOIT started
her official performing career as a
child actress for the National Theater
Company, "Pacofs", in South Africa.
She has played lead and supporting
roles in many musical, opera and other
stage productions. She obtained her
degree in Theater and Performing Arts
at the University of the Free State in
South Africa and her Classical Opera
Diploma in Greece in 2005, as well as
numerous diplomas and awards for her
piano and violin studies at the Royal
College of London and Unisa. She has
given more than 2500 performances the
past decade and has held several
successful art exhibitions in Greece.
Apart from her solo career as a
performance artist, she is also the
singer of the international groups,
AINESHANA and FUEGO DE LUNAR. Many of
her songs have been released as music
videos too and her music is currently
being broadcast by radio stations all
over the world. She is also actively
involved in theater work as a play
writer, director and scenic designer.
In March 2011 she completed the script
and music score of her new musical,
"The Witch of Woccabocca", of which
two very successful performances were
staged in May and December 2011, in
collaboration with the Ionian
Conservatory of Music in Corfu. Louise
was the main director and scenic
artist of the production, assisted by
a talented team of professional
artists and musicians, child actors
and music students. A successful
colorful exhibition of the scenery,
costumes and stage props, held at the
Municipal Art Gallery of Corfu,
followed the first performance in
2011. In April 2010 she wrote the
music and lyrics for three sold-out
productions of "The Vagina Dialogues"
in Corfu in Greece, did the music
arrangements and performed the songs
live on stage with the actresses. She
is currently working on completing her
next two musicals, with two very
different themes, for future
performances in theaters in Greece and
other countries of the world. Louise
du Toit is also using her music and
art to spread a worldwide message of
environmental and wildlife
preservation. Her most recent work
includes a list of several music
videos for various animals rights
organizations, aimed at raising
awareness about the plight of animals
in their struggle for survival. The
videos can be seen at her YouTube
channel.
My thanks and appreciation to Paddy and the whole
IMRadio team for their wonderful support to all of
us, and for the following paragraphs in the recent
IMRadio Newsletter of November: 'The very most
popular profile page can also translate into a
spot as a Featured Artist on the IMRadio Home
Page. Louise du Toit, a singer who performs
nightly in Athens, Greece, comments that IMRadio
has given her "tremendous exposure and an
immediate audience from all over the world." She
makes sure she spends time reading her wall posts
and communicating with her new fans on their
walls....Artists like..."Louise du Toit" have a
great following at concerts and CD and Download
sales.'

THREE NEW ALBUMS FROM LOUISE
DU TOIT
I am really joyful to announce that my three new
albums, "Ode to Magnificence", "Just Love" and
"Heart of Australia", are now available for
downloading at my CDBaby Artist Page. I have
received many requests for and inquiries about
these albums, all inspiring me to complete them,
and I would like to express my sincere gratitude
to my friends and fans for their wonderful
support. The albums consist of most of my songs
which I also used as the soundtracks for my videos
to raise awareness about the preservation of our
environment and all wildlife. "Ode to
Magnificence" has reached the NUMBER ONE position
on the top selling list for Greece, with "Just
Love" following in the second place. The proceeds
of the third album, "Heart of Australia", will be
donated to the admirable HOOFS2010 Inc, the latter
which is a wonderful non-profit Australian
organization dedicated to protect the wild horses.
As the patron for HOOFS2010 Inc, I am really
joyful to be able to contribute my music to their
cause. The link to my CDBaby Artist Page is the
