Music and youth
lifestyle brand MTV Base has revealed that R&B superstar Miguel is
to join the star-studded line-up of performers at the 2014 MTV Africa
Music Awards (MAMA). Miguel will be performing at the global
celebration of African creativity, talent and youth culture, taking place on 7
June at the ICC in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Also adding star power
to the awards ceremony will be Nigerian sensations Flavour and Tiwa
Savage, while urban hit makers Uhuru, Oskido and Professor will
be flying the flag for South Africa. They join previously announced
African artists Davido (Nigeria) and Mafikizolo (South Africa) at
the stunning music event and live telecast that will be broadcast around the
world on MTV, MTV Base, BET International and affiliate
stations.
Commenting on his
involvement in the MAMA, Miguel said, "What I love most
about Africa is the people and the spirit there. What makes me most proud
to be involved in the MAMA is the feeling that my music has reached
further than I imagined it could…it's inspiring.”
Picked as one of Time
Magazine’s “Most Influential People” in 2013, Grammy-winning singer,
songwriter, and producer Miguel has become one of the genre’s most
significant artists thanks to his personal brand of daring, soulful and
emotionally authentic R&B, tinged with traces of avant garde hip-hop, funk,
soul, electro and classic rock.
Since his breakthrough
year in 2010 with hit song "All I Want Is You", Miguel has
gone on to deliver chart-climbing songs. In October 2012, Miguel released
a second album “Kaleidoscope Dreams” to tremendous critical acclaim; the single
"Adorn" became his second number one R&B single and won him the
Grammy for Best R&B Song (2012). Miguel is currently working his new
album, due to be released later this year.
The 2014 MAMA is
set to feature stunning performances from African and international artists,
including the awards’ signature collaborations between artists of
different genres and cultures – a high point of every show. The show be
amplified on radio by media partners Gagasi FM, Yfm and Capricorn
