Bio
Roger Lucey, a versatile artist from South Africa, has made significant contributions as a musician, journalist, filmmaker, actor, and educator. He gained widespread recognition in the late 1970s and early 1980s for his thought-provoking protest songs that denounced the oppressive Apartheid system in his homeland. Despite being on the radar of the South African government for his anti-apartheid music, they made attempts to derail his career. Despite this adversity, Lucey has recorded five albums while also composing scores for numerous documentaries and plays.
