Who or what is Cantrel you ask? Multi-talented songwriter and internationally known keyboardist (real name Neil Breytenbach) is most known for his role in the South African award-winning band Prime Circle as Pianist and Co Songwriter.
With many Platinum and Gold Albums under his belt, he has been crafting a side music project called Cantrel. Their latest release is entitled ‘My Time Has Come’, a powerful inspirational Hip Hop infused Pop Anthem featuring Velosity and Jacqueline Tolken. ‘My Time Has Come’ is available now as a 2-track EP with a Radio Version and Acoustic Version.
Neil shares that “this song is about finding your new path in life in a positive way and not letting your past define your future. It doesn’t matter what people say about you, as every day you wake up is a new day to make a fresh start in life, so don’t let their negative words and ways get you down. You can make a positive start to your life. Stay Positive & Keep Your Head Up!”
