Vita Lu (Vee-ta Loe) is a Songwriter & Composer from Pretoria, South Africa.  She always had a passion for music since being a little girl and started classical piano lessons from the age of six.  From 1990 to 1995 she entered the “Afrikaanse Kunsvereniging Kunswedstryde” eight times and became a finalist once.  Her interest in musical instruments didn’t stop there.  She also learned to play the Classical Guitar and the Flute and tried playing her father’s Harmonica and Bisonoric Accordion.  She also sang in the church choir where she attended church.

​

As a young teenager her interest in Pop and Rock music motivated her to write her own songs.  She has already written more than 60 songs and 15 instrumental tracks to date.  One of her first songs (still unreleased) received a silver certificate from Eistedfedd for Songwriter: High School.

​

Vita Lu has been a Christian all her life and grew up in a Christian home.  She strongly believes her talent is a gift from God.

​

Struggling to make name as a songwriter (while keeping an entirely different day job), she decided to create the Virtual Rock Band "vital curv".   Her day job is a career in a qualified profession, and therefor she can't travel around to perform, because she travels around for the career that makes money.

​​

In 2012, with the support of session musicians, she recorded her band’s self-titled EP debut album at Beat in Time Studios (Pretoria, South Africa) owned by Bruce Wallace.   On 23 March 2013 the album was released.

​

She also started writing Afrikaans music and in March 2017 released her first Afrikaans Pop Single ”Voel Die Reën”, followed by "Oproep na die Hemel" on 4 December 2021, and "Noorder Kleure" on 15 July 2022.

 

Her first Electronic Instrumental song "Woeste Oseaan", was released on 20 November 2020,  and "Herfs Blare"  on 7 April 2021.

 

“It Shows - Remix” is her first remix, and her third EDM release.  The original Rock song was released in 2013 under her Virtual Rock Band - "vital curv".  This song also marks an important milestone for Vita Lu, as it is the 10th song released with and produced by the legendary drummer, Bruce Wallace.  He has earned international recognition and endorsement from Zildjian Cymbals and Mapex Drums.  With this milestone she combined all her songs and created a 10 track CD with printed Booklet - "Noorder Kleure Album".

​​

Her latest song, "Versekerd", is one that is very near to her heart.  Not just because it is her first Contemporary Christian song, but also because she had the honor of being able to make Jason Bradley's voice heard one last time.  The most beautiful Country voice full of heart and feeling!

​

In 2013 she became a Radio Presenter at Radio Overberg.  Tune in every Thursday at 11:15 to hear her program.
