Interview with Capetonian singer: Clint Carelse (Clint C)

So as I promised you, I will be interviewing personalities about their travel experiences and how it changed them as a person. Let me introduce you to the next personality that I have interviewed: Singer Clint Carelse - Clint C

Who is Clint Carelse aka Clint C?





"I started singing 10 years ago, entered various competitions and did free gigs to gain exposure. I then later joined up with some friends and created a group called CQC. I decided that the picture I had in the industry was to be different to my group members and decided I would go solo as Clint C. This is where all my success started. I joined forces with Ernie B St Clair former Popstar group AfroZ member and was later signed to his label, Pipeline Records. I had a stay of 2 years and I have since parted ways to further my solo career. I signed a Record Deal with Groovtec Records, which came to an end recently due to the label not meeting my expectations. My tracks have been playlisted on numerous stations, not only countrywide, but worldwide as well."

What was your one favourite place either locally (in South Africa) or abroad to visit?

"My favourite place visited was Kimberley in South Africa. The experience was mind blowing and life changing."

What about the place did you enjoy?

"I enjoyed the fact that the community is a very close knit one and everybody stands together in everything they do. They are also a really friendly and diverse group of people, who were very appreciative and supportive of my God given talent of song. But the highlight of my trip was experiencing the Big Hole of Kimberley. I was left amazed by the beauty of Gods' work.

Any interesting fact(s) that you learned about the place while you were there?

"The biggest lesson I learned while on my journey was that when it came to my career, I was definitely doing a great job.It also boosted my confidence as a performer. Everything from there on has been positive and also Kimberley has the best crowds and mad love."

Any recommendations that you would give to others when visiting the place?


"My suggestions and recommendations to anybody who visits Kimberley is to definitely experience the Big Hole of Kimberley. It is honestly the most amazing experience. Also the Flamengo Casino and Hotel is an amazing spot so I would recommend that you check that out."

How did visiting the place allow you to change in any aspect of your life, whether personally or professionally?

"The support I received out in Kimberley allowed my performance levels to increase in confidence, energy and also applying the positives into my life instead of focusing on any negative energy. So I think positivity and confidence was my change from my experience."

What would you do to let the place receive more exposure on what it has to offer?

"Always speak good words about my personal experience on my stay and recommend that everybody visits Kimberley at least once in their lives."
