Daniah de Villiers has been working in the entertainment industry for six years and is best-known as Trudie in Binnelanders, presenter of the kykNET series, Dierepraters and for her outstanding acting in acclaimed films like Mia and the White Lion and Nul is Nie Niks Nie.
Now she is back in the spotlight to win over even more hearts… but this time with the release of her debut single, “Gold”. According to the eighteen-year-old Capetonian this pop single, which she wrote herself, is about discovering what really matters in life.
Daniah De Villiers comments on “Gold”
“The song was written for the lions I grew up with for three years. It made me realize that I determine my own happiness and that I should be grateful for the real gold in my life, like the lions.”
This inspirational track was produced by Stone Bear & Mayor, and she believes that it will appeal to listeners of all ages.
“It’s a little different, but I think that it is a heartfelt song that will speak to people’s hearts and invite them to make it their own.” she shares
A music video of this unique song is also available. Produced by Josh Farrer and Martin McCarthy, the video was filmed at various locations in and around Gordon’s Bay. The idea was to emphasise the message of the song and capture what matters most.

“I thought I knew what the gold in my life was, and at that point, it was the lions. We then decided to show that true gold actually lies within yourself and not in materialistic things or relationships.”
