Christoph Kotze, also known as 'Appel', is one of South Africa's most prolific contemporary Afrikaans songwriters.
He has written hit songs for artists such as Theuns Jordaan, Karlien Van Jaarsveld, EDEN, Bok Van Blerk, Laurika Rauch, and Dewald Wasserfall.
'Appel' joined Breakfast with Martin Bester for the very first time to perform on Friday Live.
"When I was very young, my mother introduced me to Tracy Chapman. She is my true inspiration."
