Straatligkinders
"It's a huge honour to be a part of Sing 'it 2013," says Straatligkinders frontman Bouwer Bosch. The rock band from Potchefstroom will be looking for Afrikaans lyrics that tell a personal story. "Everyone can identify with a true story and Afrikaans is a language of storytelling, so it will be fun to compete against the other, mainly English, artists."

BlackByrd
No lyric writing competition would be complete without a group of sexy songbirds to sing your ballads. BlackByrd will be looking for lyrics that match their country pop sound. "Remember to write from the heart," is their advice. The trio has recently entered the South African music scene with a bang and already has four SAMA awards on their mantelpiece.
