Watch out Charlize! Pop Idols winner Heinz Winckler is rapidly on his
way to international stardom! His break into the international market
comes as the double platinum recording and performing artist prepares
to release his commercial single to the German, Austrian and European
markets on March 8th.

His single — featuring tracks from his first album such
as 'Soledad', 'Next Stop Happiness' and 'Chasing Shadows', which is
the theme song from Disney's 'Treasure Planet' — is set for release
to radio stations on February 6 and his latest album is to be
released in April this year.

His international recognition was cemented with his appearance on
World Idol, in which he completed in forth position — and second in
the US.

Heinz has been a busy boy indeed. On Thursday he welcomed German
Idols winner, Alexander Klaws to Cape Town. Klaws is here to shoot
his music video. Fans can keep up to date with his movements by
