Team Stonebed
Lukas de Beer
music & media
I’m a co-director at Stonebed.io. My job here is to create artwork, liaise with the media and clients, and compose music. I’m a singer/songwriter and released my debut album STORM OP JUPITER in 2014. I’ve written chart-topper songs performed by a number of South African artists. I picked up a bass in ’87 and haven’t put it down since. I live in Somerset West near Cape Town.
Jesse Dreyer
music & meta
I am a musician with a systems brain, and a co-director at Stonebed within this power-team of four. My job here is to write metadata, organise ideas, and compose music. I moved to Stellenbosch in 2014, got a Master’s degree in composition, and drove many performers crazy with bizarre performance instructions. Piano and violin are my weapons of choice.
Gavin Young
music & ux
As co-director of stonebed.io, I’m in charge of brand direction with web and UX being the main focus. At the age of 7 I started drumming and have had the honour of being part of some epic projects in studio and on stage. Currently residing in Hartenbos with my beautiful family, enjoying the ocean breeze.
Helmut Meijer
29 May 1978 - 10 August 2024
Helmut lived in Stellenbosch and dreamt about creating a high quality Music Library since his early days as a Music Producer and Composer. What seemed to be an ever-elusive dream came true! When he did not make music, he ran in the mountains and enjoyed traveling. It was his creed of bliss to be a co-director at, and a co-founder of Stonebed.io. Sadly our partner and friend passed away on 10 August 2024. We miss him dearly.
