Fanie de Jager

As of 2012 de Jager is focussing on performing internationally, starting with Europe. Videos of his renditions of the Neapolitan song "O Sole Mio" and the operatic aria "La donna è mobile" were aired by Classic FM TV in the UK in 2007. These videos were included in their daily playlist for some time, where he featured amongst artists such as Plácido Domingo, Andrea Bocelli, Katherine Jenkins, Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, and André Rieu.

In 2007, de Jager released an album, My Classical Soul. It includes a world-class collection of opera and operetta arias and duets with South African soprano Michelle Veenemans. It also includes the classical piece "Con Te Partiro" ("Time to Say Goodbye"). His latest album is Classics Forever.

My Sentimental Soul, de Jager's debut album, was launched in 2000 and reached gold status in South Africa. This album is known as one of Fanie's most loved amongst his fans, including songs in English, Italian, Afrikaans and Spanish. Afrikaanse Juwele (meaning "Afrikaans jewels"), de Jager's fourth album, reached gold status within two months and became the top-selling Afrikaans album for six consecutive weeks. It also featured in the South African Top 20, an international hit parade, during the same period. Fanie de Jager's popularity grew, and he was invited to appear on various South African television shows, such as Musiekforum, Platepraatjies, Maak 'n Las and Teletreffers. He appeared three times on the most popular show currently, Noot vir Noot (meaning 'Note for Note'), an Afrikaans musical quiz presented by Johan Stemmet. Over the past 10 years he has travelled throughout South Africa, performing more than 350 solo concerts.
