Damian Jay is a singer/songwriter from South Africa.

Accomplished singer songwriter Albert Meintjes was first seen on the stages of South Africa in 1996. 
Inspired and motivated to write and perform his own compositions he embarked on a very exciting journey. Albert writes about everyday happenings and the emotions they bring. His stories of love and life make for entertaining if pensive lyrics. He is strongly influenced by folk and acoustic music across the globe, coupled with indigenes rhythms and melodies. He has a deep love for Southern American flavours of music and where they meet African rhythms and these traits are rooted deep in his music.

Albert grew up in a musical family with his parents both recorded gospel artists, his sister Hainley Cole a dance teacher and jazz vocalist and brother Gideon Meintjes, one of SA’s top drummers and performing musicians.
At the age of five, Albert was already on stage singing in his school choir which were the runner-up in the Applause national choir competition. In 1997 his music career took him to the rock stages of SA and he soon found himself sharing the spotlight with the cream of SA talent, including bands like Strange Weather, Duusman, the SAMA award winning Not My Dog and the ever so popular Scicoustic of which Albert has been the front man for the past eleven years.
Albert has performed with New Porn alongside Arno Carstens, supporting the Metallica tour and on stage with some of the top artists in the country like Albert Frost, Anton La’mour, Karen Zoid, Greg Georgiades, Valiant Swart, Shaun Morgan (Seether), Hugo De Waal , Lani van der Walt and Moseu Kettlele just to name a few.

Colour me Kacey came to life in May 2012, when guitarist Kelly set out to find the perfect mix of female musicians with the ability to create an addictive sound that would stand out in the crowded SA music scene. Kelly teamed up with bass guitarist Nicole and vocalist Jess, who had both shared the stage with her in their previous band, Saving Insanity.  Guitarist Candice was next to join the line-up, fitting in perfectly with the dynamics of the band. Larissa joined the family in January 2013 when their previous drummer, Zanne Scholtz, moved on to pursue her drumming career.
 
Colour me Kacey have created a distinctive sound by combining the hardcore and indie influences of the band members. Their mission is to fuel their passion for music while, at the same time, displaying the sometimes underrated technical abilities of female musicians.
