Jacobus Frederik Jersich, widely recognized by his professional stage name Ray Dylan, is a multi-platinum South African singer, songwriter, and producer. Born in Odendaalsrus in 1978, he began his career with the 2002 English album "New Kid In Town," but his transition to Afrikaans music triggered a national phenomenon. His 2006 breakthrough album, "Hokaai Stoppie Lorrie," remains one of the most successful releases in the country’s history.
Throughout his tenure with the Sony-affiliated label Select Musiek, Ray Dylan has dominated the charts with albums like "Breek Die Ys" and "Hier Binne (Klop ’n Boerehart)." His mastery of country music was cemented when his project "Goeie Ou Country" won a SAMA for Best Country Album.
From his hit single "Jessica" to his 2026 release "Suspicious Minds," the artist continues to define the South African pop-rock and country landscape.
