Craig Lucas

Thanks to his arena-ready pop ballads, Craig Lucas is a permanent fixture on South Africa’s Top 40 charts. In 2017, the then-24-year-old Cape Town singer appeared on the second season of The Voice SA, winning over fans and judges alike with his ceaseless vocal range—all the more impressive considering that the introverted performer had never before appeared in front of an audience. Part of Craig’s charm is his ability to fill the spotlight without fully embracing it. As he sang on his 2021 single “Weird”: “I'm just a quiet kid from down south/ Stuck writing sad songs for my health/ I like being at home by myself, I'm a weirdo.”
