EASTERN Cape music artist Eon Le Roux pays tribute to his late grandmother in a fitting new single, “Legacy”.
The independent artist, who was a Top 5 finalist on “The Voice SA” season 3 in 2019, wrote the song for his grandmother for her 100th birthday.
The powerful yet heartfelt song honours a life well-lived, filled with treasured memories, as well as the priceless lessons Le Roux's grandmother taught him.
He says, “She always believed that your legacy is what people will remember about you. So chase your dreams, be kind to others, and never give up in the face of adversity.”
