Soshanguve R&B/soul artist nominated for SAMA award

Brian Temba, who is celebrating 23 years in the music industry this year, has been nominated in the SAMA28 awards.

The R&B/soul artist from Soshanguve was nominated for the song titled “It’s all you”.

Temba worked on his fourth studio album titled, “It’s all you” last year and it was released early October last year.

This song is reminiscent of Motown R&B sounds with a SA flavour.

Temba has not only owned the right to be called the Patriot of R&B music in South Africa, he is also one of the people that stuck to R&B when many artists fell off the genre along the way.

But he is and has always called himself an R&B artist and it does not seem that anything will be changing anytime soon.

Temba features on a lot of house music songs and undoubtedly brings his R&B flavour to all.

Known songs like “All I am” by Sir LSG, “Tipsy” by DJ Miza, “Come Join In” and “Take My Hand” by international DJ Simbad, and “Never Thought” by Chymamusique, “Man Of Summer” by London DJ, QB Smith, and recently, “Higher Place”, by DJ Miza.

Temba is currently working with new exciting artists like Ngwato Mapalakanye, who is a house guitarist and released the hit, “All I Need”, in 2019.

Recently Temba has also worked in the gospel industry, featuring on songs with talented artists like Nigerian born singer, Yvonne May on a song called “I Carry You”.

And he has recently released his own gospel song called, “The Love Song”, featuring rapper, Motlabi.

With all his experience and being around big movie music scorers like Hans Zimmer and Lebo M, Temba has had a dream to venture into the movie scoring business.

As a result, he has been approached by movie makers to score and produce music for multiple movies.

He recently worked on a movie by Kagiso Modupe named Losing Lerato, and as a result became an international award winner for best original score in a film at the Idly Wild Film Festival in California in 2020.

Temba always wants to show appreciation to everyone that has been involved in his music journey, loyal fans both nationally and internationally, media houses and radio stations that have always played his music.

The prestigious awards ceremony will be held on August 28, 2022 at Sun City and broadcast live on SABC1. Tickets are available at www.ticketpro.co.za
