This will give him a chance of stamping his authority on an international level, particularly in the US and the UK. In South Africa, Tellaman is known for his ultra smooth voice and sound, which can transcend into both hip hop as well as RnB.
“They will help us in distributing and marketing his single and album in their markets, as a partner of Universal. We are really excited about the deal,” says Universal's Kevin Grenfell.
The Durban born singer grew up in a church environment, singing in the church choir. He was a signee of Soul Candi and got featured in the Soul Candi Sessions 15 in tape which won him national accolades. He went on to release Nsikelelo, with the most recognizable track being Drinks and Music featuring Okmaloomkoolkat, which truly had an international standard and was way ahead of it's time.
However, he made serious head waves in 2016 with a feature on DJ Speedsta's chart topping Mayo, with arguably the most unforgettable and soothing chorus in hip hop that year. He propelled to new heights with a banger called Whipped, featuring Shekinah and Nasty C, which had everybody in and out of their feels.
"I can't believe it. Thank you guys so much for your support. I really appreciate it. Shout out to Shekinah and Nasty C and everyone who has been following my projects,” he speaks humbly.
This is a big deal for the humble singer, which will propel him to new heights. As South Africans, we wish nothing but the best for him as he deserves everything and more.
