Reinhardt Buhr! Reinhardt Buhr is an exceptionally talented ambient music artist. From the early days of picking up his first guitar in a place called, Wilderness, South Africa to living in Cape Town, Reinhardt has demonstrated a natural ability to learn new instruments. He stumbled into the ambient music space quite by accident but it suited him and the rest may be thought of as history. He has been busking for years and along the way found his moral footing in his Christian beliefs. He is not preachy about such things but offers a clear account of his conversion later in the podcast. As a busker, Reinhart is no stranger to performing for a transient audience, but after recording a full day of busking in Cape Town, just two years ago, five his live creations were posted to YouTube and his career lifted off. Each of those songs rocketed past 1 million views and continue to climb. One song is at nearly 7 million views!

For Reinhardt, there is no formula to the his success, at least not one he can articulate. You see, each of Buhr's creations are unique, one-time events. When he starts to play, he concedes that he does not really know where the moment will take him. He doesn't let a little thing like 'time' limit him either, for example, the four songs he brought just for this interview are all in excess of 9 minutes. We will hear the backstory to each song and so much more today.

One thing to note at this point, during the interview we will listen to only a portion of each song, however, each song can be heard at the end of this interview, complete and uninterrupted.
