Sans of Time

As the leader of this band, Alrick comes with vast experience both on and off the stage. His rapport with people from all walks of life, whether it is business or pleasure, has allowed this talented singer to open doors for this outfit both Nationally and Internationally.
His haunting voice and devilish stage personality will have you eating out of his hands within minutes. Alrick has negotiated, infiltrated and entertained crowds of diverse people and created truly memorable occasions over many years. He has the ability to hold a crowd in the palm of his hand and rock them into the early hours of the morning.

Marysa has played the Cape Jazz scene for four years before embarking on a stint in Dubai for one year. She rejoined Sans of Time in 2003 and has added her much needed refreshing voice to a recipe that is now truly world class. She puts the sugar into soul and the juice into jazz with her vivacious moves and brilliant stage act.
Her recent international experience (London and Zambia) has added a dimension of very specific vocal spice that is appreciated and admired by all.
Marysa has an amazingly musical ear that adds harmony to virtually any note. A sensual and classy act that performs with sincerity and soul. A beautiful woman that is adored by all crowds and evokes emotion amongst all who witness her smooth, soulful performances. In local circles, she is known as a vocal gymnast and often out-sings the original artists with her fabulous vocal range. This bright singing sensation is on the rise and is ready for an elaborate career in an industry that is fortunate to have her.

It is truly an honour for us to have a musician of this quality to have joined our ranks Mark is the newest member of our band and his expensive taste in sound quality, jazzy feel and clarity of touch on an instrument he loves and cherishes, combined with his strong technical background, has given him the right to be one of the finest keyboard players around. An unprecedented love and deep passion for all types of music has given him the freedom to explore any kind of song. This is the core value of the diversity required for this outfit to operate within National and International markets.
He started in the music world as a young boy and has played the Jazz and Pop circuits throughout South Africa. Whilst other teenagers were out partying, Mark was discovering the love of his life – The Keyboard. His Keyboard solos are prolific and his touch is gentle and precise. 

Stigue’s passion for music started at an early age.  His father, Vincent P Nel (Jazz Vocalist), being his greatest influence.  Diversity in music was always a big part of Stigue’s formative years – from Jazz (his father), “Kaapse Klopse” (his uncle and godfather) and old “crooner” music (the grandmothers).
Stigue’s education started at SACS.  This is where he learned to play the trumpet, in Grade 5. 
In 2000 he passed Grade 5 Music Theory Royal Schools exam with Distinction and already showed much promise in harmony and counterpoint. In 2003 he passed his Grade 8 Trumpet Royal Schools exam and was selected to play in the South African National Youth Schools Jazz Band where he received Full Colours and represented his country. 
He decided to further his education in music when he was accepted to study at UCT South African College of Music (2004).  He enjoyed playing in ensembles and started playing for the UCT Jazz Big Band and UCT Symphony Orchestra, as well as other commercial bands, viz. Glen Robertson Jazz Band, Captain Stu, and started his own experimental band, Wednesdays Child.
