AYRTON makes mark with new single

The local artist has released his debut single.

MEYERTON – Emerging as one of South Africa’s exciting new talents, local artist AYRTON is poised to make his mark in the music industry with his debut single I Will Go Far.

With heartfelt lyrics and an anthemic sound, AYRTON’s music resonates with those who believe in the power of perseverance and the pursuit of dreams.

AYRTON’s journey into music began with an innate connection to sound.

Music always spoke to me in ways words couldn’t,” he recalls.

Growing up, music was a constant source of comfort, fuelling his passion and becoming an outlet for emotional release.

Small moments, such as hearing a song that moved him or picking up an instrument, turned his quiet passion into a lifelong dream.

Though life presented its challenges, AYRTON continued to create music on the side while working as a barman and waiter. These experiences only deepened his commitment, and he eventually embraced the realisation that music was more than just a dream – it was his calling.

His dedication has now culminated in a full-fledged pursuit to share his unique blend of country pop with the world. I Will Go Far, AYRTON’s debut single, is a testament to his resilience.

Inspired by his own journey of overcoming obstacles, the song delivers a message of hope and determination.

He explains: “No matter how dark things get, if you really put your mind to it, the future will bring what you’re working toward.”

Collaborating with renowned producer Matthew Fink, AYRTON was able to bring his vision to life in the studio.

Describing the experience as “unexplainable,” he credits Fink’s talent for capturing the authenticity and emotional depth of his music.

With influences ranging from Post Malone’s genre-blending style to the raw honesty of Zach Bryan and Noah Kahan, AYRTON aspires to create music that is both inspirational and relatable.

His goal is to craft songs that combine emotional depth with catchy, memorable tunes, embodying the spirit of country pop.

As AYRTON embarks on this exciting journey, he invites listeners to join him, sharing in his message of resilience, ambition, and hope.

For AYRTON, the release of I Will Go Far is not just a debut but the realisation of a dream.

His music is now available on all major streaming platforms, reaching out to those who have ever faced challenges and chosen to keep moving forward.
