Multi-award-winning musician, producer, and entrepreneur Tresor is proud to announce his latest business venture with Sunset Recording Studios.
Nestled in the picturesque Stellenbosch Valley, this state-of-the-art facility has long been a hub for innovation and artistry. Now, with Tresor’s involvement, it is set to attract a new wave of global talent to Africa.
“Sunset Recording Studios has played a vital role in my career, serving as the birthplace of some of my most cherished music,” shares Tresor. “This space is a sanctuary for creatives, and I’m thrilled to be part of its continued journey as a catalyst for extraordinary artistry.”
Surrounded by the majestic Stellenbosch mountains and lush vineyards, Sunset Recording Studios seamlessly blends cutting-edge recording technology with the tranquillity of its natural surroundings. Tresor’s partnership marks a significant milestone in his mission to redefine how the world engages with Africa’s creativity and talent.
Having recorded much of his award-winning catalogue within its walls, Tresor knows firsthand the magic that Sunset Recording Studios inspires. With this new venture, he aims to further establish the studio as a global destination for musicians, producers, and creators seeking a space to craft timeless masterpieces.
This announcement follows a series of visionary moves from Tresor, including the launch of his R100 million Jacquel Ventures investment firm in 2023 and the unveiling of GOMA, his luxury farm and creative haven, in 2024. These ventures underscore his commitment to reshaping Africa’s narrative—not just through music, but by creating spaces and opportunities for others to thrive.
“Sunset Recording Studios represents everything I believe in—collaboration, excellence, and the power of music to connect us all,” says Tresor. “I want this space to remain a beacon of creativity, where people from all walks of life can come together to create, innovate, and leave their mark on the world.”
Tresor’s involvement is an exciting chapter for Sunset Recording Studios. Founder Jürgen von Wechmar shares, “His vision and dedication to elevating African excellence align perfectly with what we’ve built here in Stellenbosch. This partnership is a testament to the studio’s global potential, and we look forward to working together to showcase Africa as a hub for world-class music production. A big step towards fulfilling a lifelong dream!”
