Triveno Roberto Smith more commonly known as Triveno is a singer/songwriter from Paarl. He writes and sings about life, love and everything that happens in between. Triveno’s musical journey started as a teenager when he’s dad brought home a guitar because his old man wanted to play. In the end Triveno got hold of the guitar and has since became inseparable.

In 2017 his wife Alecia lost her battle against cancer. She was also a founding member of the band Southern Lights. It was a difficult time for Triveno and their daughter Gabriella who was only 6 years old at that time.
