“Congratulations to the 2011 Pirate Radio Best New Artist from the RockStar contest - Pierre Opperman and his pop/folk song "Runaway". Congratulations! Pierre is from Knysna, South Africa.”

— Dave The Wolf, Pirate Radio of The Treasure Coast,Florida,USA

“ Pierre Opperman is a Knysna resident, and thus better placed than most to take advantage of Howard Butcher’s increasingly popular Peace Of Eden recording set-up (which has hosted Nibs van der Spuy, Guy Buttery, John Ellis and Andrew James, among others, for recent albums). 24 July 2012 | BRUCE DENNILL 6/10 PIERRE OPPERMAN – DIARY (INDEPENDENT) Opperman is not in that exalted league in musicality terms, but he has a simple, classic songwriting style that recalls many popular icons of the past, from Chris Rea and Mark Knopfler to America. His arrangements are mostly built around an acoustic guitar, with various friends and colleagues (including Wendy Oldfield on vocals on the soothing If You Believe) filling in the gaps.

“Pierre Opperman is one of the most passionate and determined individuals to ever have a go at the South African music scene. No love or money could deter this man from immersing himself into the depths of the independent music networks, which has paid off in many respects. Having won a number of online categories for ‘album of the month’ and more, Pierre has proved his popularity over and over again to fans in his target market. With a catchy dance track ‘Desert Light’ that breaks away from his other more folky numbers, Pierre has shown a flair for skilful contemporary songwriting that is bound to take him far.”

— Howard Butcher, Homegrown Music

“Knysna's Musical Ghost: KNYSNA NEWS - Unless one socialises with the intimate crowd of local talent, chances are that one will not know who Pierre Opperman (50) is - that's why he is sometimes referred to as Knysna's musical ghost. Opperman's husky voice has been compared to the likes of Chris Rea, Cat Stevens and David Grey, making him fall comfortably in the genres of Acoustic Folk, Electronic and Blues.”

— Anoeschka, Knysna-Plett Herald

“Local muso, Pierre Opperman, and Knysna FM DJ, Wayne Greenstone, contemplated the seasons and made this calming song.”

— Mike Hampton(Wicked Mike), loveknysna.com
