As the lead singer of one of South Africa's most prolific bands, Springbok Nude Girls, Carstens' two-decade career experienced its pivotal moment in 2003 with the release of his debut solo album. Guitar-led, folk-influenced rockers such as “Something We Started” match soulful rock ballads like “Another Universe”, all driving the album into top-selling platinum prominence and solidifying his position as a formidable solo artist.
