THE AWAKENING

In the organizer's words:

Now based in the US, The Awakening is a dark music project born in Johannesburg, South Africa in the late 90's as the creative expression of singer, multi-instrumentalist, author, actor and songwriter Ashton Nyte. The Awakening's sound has evolved over the years, incorporating elements of gothic rock, darkwave, gothic metal, industrial rock, post-punk, electronic, new wave and other theatrical excesses.

Frontman Ashton Nyte has released eight solo albums and two books alongside his work as The Awakening. He has contributed vocals and lyrics to a number of other projects involving members of The Cure, Peter Murphy, The Mission, Beauty In Chaos and All About Eve, among others.

Nyte has written for theater productions, performed as an actor, and hosted philanthropic events, including his "Rock Against Rape" concert series and a lecture series at US universities on tolerance and acceptance. His songs have been used in major television series such as Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin (HBOMax), The Purge (USA Network) and many others.

Due to his diverse musical styles and theatrical performance, Nyte has been dubbed "Johannesburg's Bowie" by music journalists. With a catalog of over 300 original songs released, Ashton Nyte and The Awakening have been heard on major independent radio stations and charted worldwide. They have toured extensively and headlined music festivals in the US, Europe and South Africa with over 30,000 attendees.
