Bongani “Mörda” Mohosana and Brenden Praise are beaming with pride after their feature on the soundtrack of the musical adaptation of The Colour Purple earned them a Grammy nomination. 

The Colour Purple is a musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s award-winning novel, and a 2005 stage production by Marsha Norman is set to launch globally in theatres on January 18.  

DJ and producer Mörda and singer Brenden join the list of renowned artists including Mary J Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Taraji P Henson, Keyshia Cole, October London, Coco Jones, Halle Bailey, Jorja Smith and Mary Mary featured on the track. 

The two stars have been credited for their contribution to Tamela Mann's Mysterious Ways as remixers, which has been nominated.

The Colour Purple (various artists) is nominated under the Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.

“Grammy-nominated producer wasn’t on my vision board, but I’ll take it! Honoured to have contributed to the soundtrack with my brothers,” Brenden wrote on his timeline. 

I want to thank me for this contribution @brenden_praise and @dr_moruti on the @thecolorpurple soundtrack. Grammy nominated S/O to @gamma, @siphodlam and @gamma.africa for affording MÖRDA (@murdahbongz) a chance to be on this project. The Good Lord Works in Mysterious Ways indeed,” Mörda wrote.
