The team is proud to announceSABC 1 as the official broadcast partner for the second year in a row, an addition spreading the reach of the awards to millions of South Africans, but also aligning the awards to SABC 1’s proposition of being more than TV but youth culture.

Tan89Media Tips For Emerging Talent

Attention Emerging Talent!! So, for the years that I have been dealing with and working alongside emerging talent, more so, artists. I have noticed some behavior pertaining to their brand. That could be credited to lack of experience and knowledge but it could also be ignorance and lack of proactivity. A lot of talent lacks a lot of knowledge of their industries.

Wimz Montshioa says he believes he was drawn into the pop culture because the music fascinated him. So much so that he went on to try it out. Being from a Province that is so heavily Hip Hop influenced, more so by Motswako, there was no other genre to pursue but that. But when one realises that their passion lies just beyond the mic, you have to step up. Wimz later decided to dicth rap music to focus on being behind the scene due to realising that, what lit up his fire was working, nurturing and producing new artists to the people.
