“I am very happy to be nominated in four categories and selected to perform at the awards. I urge people to come in their numbers to support the event which honours artists from Midlands province. I promise to give my all on the stage and put up a cracker of a performance on the night,” Mvura said.
He has four albums to his name namely Continental, Sentimental, Pentimento and Monumental and is currently working on his fifth album which will be released in 2017.
He boasts a number of awards to his name including the Best Roots music award for two consecutive years at the Masvingo Music Awards and the 2014 ABSA award for Best Promising African Jazz Artist.
Mvura now has his sights at the KORA and BET awards.
