We’re thrilled to announce that one of ProVocals Vocal Academy’s talented students has achieved an incredible milestone! Eastern Cape-born Sindile Simama, known by his stage name Smama, has been nominated for a South African Music Award (SAMA) for his original album, ISIPHO.
Smama’s album has earned recognition in the Best Adult Contemporary Album category at the #SAMA30, where it stands proudly alongside works by some of the biggest names in the music industry. This nomination not only highlights Smama’s talent as a vocalist but also celebrates his impressive journey as a songwriter. With a background that includes writing for icons like Lundi Tyamara, Berita, Thembisile Ntaka, and Nokwazi, Smama has now stepped into the spotlight himself, showcasing his vocal talent and musical passion.
Reflecting on the nomination, Smama shared, “The SAMAs are the most prestigious music awards in the country, and being nominated is every artist’s dream. For this to happen to me is nothing short of God’s grace.” He went on to express his gratitude, stating, “As an independent artist, I never thought this was possible. This nomination proves that hard work and dedication can elevate you to heights you never imagined.”
Smama named his album ISIPHO, which means gift, as a heartfelt offering to music lovers. Through this album, he bares his soul and allows listeners to connect with his authentic self. He believes ISIPHO is his best work yet and is immensely grateful to everyone who contributed to its creation and release, as well as to his supporters.
