When learning an instrument, most of us are taught how to play, but very few of us are taught how to write music. There are a lot of musicians who seem to be under the impression that if you cannot naturally write songs that you will never be good at it.

More Alouise Peens
Alouise grew up in a musical family – her mom giving lessons. From the age of four, she played the piano and then picked up the guitar when she was 10.
Music was a way of dealing with life, and she started writing songs about life and emotions. Exploring in music, she began playing the drums when she was 14 and not long after that she picked up the bass guitar.
Joining Onbeskaamd in 2010 was the career jump, and she moved to Pretoria not long after that to follow her dream. She did her Gr 8 in Electric Guitar and Bass when she finished her studies at SAMI (South Africa Music Institute). A year ago she started playing bass for Bok van Blerk, and now she travels around South Africa with her music.
