Kewand’s debut performance is a milestone for the excited artist.

Gregory Wings, Kewand's manager, is hoping to put him on stage with US rapper Rick Ross in May.

“I'm excited to promote and manage new local South African talent into the international market through Blue Screen Entertainment, but I believe in the importance of first making them stars on the African continent.

“Our journey begins in South Africa as we attempt to conquer Africa and lay a strong foundation for global success.

“Through collaborations with artists and strategic partnerships with industry giants such as Sony Music Publishing and Virgin Music Group, we will elevate our artists on the world stage.

“This year I am thrilled to announce my artists will take to the stage at our international concerts showcasing their talent and connecting with audiences. Together, we are not just building careers; we are creating a movement that celebrates our rich cultural heritage while reaching for the stars.”
