Steve Hofmeyr (born 29 August 1964) is a South African singer, songwriter and actor.

After Hofmeyr matriculated in 1982 at Grey College, he did two years compulsory army and border duty, then went to Pretoria Technikon Drama School. He has fathered a few illegitimate children[1][2]. Hofmeyr married actress Natasha Sutherland, who he had met on the set of Egoli, in 1998 and had a son, Sebastian, born 13 December 2001.

In 1997 he broke onto the international music scene when he recorded the duet You Don’t Bring Me Flowers with Belgian star Dana Winner for his album True to You. This track was also recorded in Dutch and charted in Belgium at No. 2 in the Top 100. Winner and Hofmeyr performed together to sold-out shows in both Belgium and South Africa. One of his self-penned songs is currently a hit for her in Europe.

He toured South Africa in 2001 with Beautiful Noise, the story and music of Neil Diamond, and the release of his new CD with the same title. The tour was a success, with 224 sold-out concerts.

In 2007 he toured New Zealand drawing record expat crowds in the country. He even appeared in a Breakfast TV show.

In January 2007 there were reports that one branch of the News Cafe restaurant chain would not play Hofmeyr's song Pampoen (Pumpkin). The managing director of the company that owns the franchise denies that this is company policy and points out that many Afrikaans acts, such as Karen Zoid and Arno Carstens have performed at News Cafe.[3]

From 1992 to 2001 Hofmeyr had a recurring role in the soap Egoli as "Doug Durand". Lately his performances have kept him from starring in television roles, but he made a brief return to the SA soapy scene in May 2007 with a role in Sewende Laan, as a newspaper editor named "Brandt van den Bergh".

In November 2007 Hofmeyr released a book titled Jêmbekseep, published by Griffel Books , containing quotes from newspaper articles, magazines etc. as well as discussions from Hofmeyr's personal blog page.
