“The Return of Tevin Campbell”
Cape Town - GrandWest - 22 July 2016

Marmalade Productions are proud to
bring Tevin Campbell back to South Africa after sold out performances in 2013.
Tevin Campbell was born in Dallas, Texas on November 12, 1976. At the
age of 12, he became one of the youngest solo artists to ever be signed to a
major record label. Quincy Jones took a
special interest in Tevin’s talent and he appeared on Jones’ LP Back on the Block
and was featured on "Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)," which
hit number one on the R&B charts in June 1990. Later that year, he appeared
in Prince's Graffiti Bridge film singing "Round and Round," which Prince wrote for him and which became
a gold single. Next, in the summer of 1991, he appeared on the soundtrack to
Boyz in the Hood singing "Just Ask
Me To," a Top Ten R&B hit. All of this set the stage for his debut
album, 1991's T.E.V.I.N., which went platinum and spawned two R&B
chart-toppers, "Tell Me What You
Want Me to Do" and "Alone
with You," as well as the R&B Top Five hit "Goodbye." I'm Ready, released two
years later, did even better, going double platinum and featuring three R&B
chart hits -- the number one "Can We
Talk," "I'm Ready,"
which went Top Five, and "Always in
My Heart," which reached the Top Ten. Campbell’s compilation album
“The Best of Campbell” was a huge international success, reaching
multi-platinum status in Africa, Japan and the UK. Campbell has worked with
some of the industry’s top writers and producers including Prince, Babyface, Al
B. Sure, Narada Michael Walden, Wyclef and Sean “Diddy” Combs.
After releasing several hit singles,
Tevin transitioned into TV, Film and Broadway.
He made several
acting appearances in the hit TV sitcoms “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “Moesha” and did the soundtrack for “A Goofy Movie,” an animated musical comedy
film.
In
recent years, Tevin has taken Broadway by storm and played the role of Seaweed J. Stubbs in the hit Broadway
musical Hairspray. Campbell reprised his role of Seaweed in the Broadway
musical, Hairspray, in the Melbourne and Sydney productions in
Australia.
Fans get
ready, Tevin Campbell is back! With over 5 million albums sold worldwide, 4 Grammy
nominations, and achieving certified platinum status, Tevin is back on the road
touring, giving people what they want…GOOD MUSIC. After a decade of experiences, Tevin has
matured both personally and professionally. He is writing and producing new material
for a long awaited upcoming album. The first single "Safer" was released
April 15, 2016 in the U.S.
"We were compelled to invite Tevin back to
the country after so many requests from his fans who could not attend his shows
as they were all sold out" says concert
promoter Godfrey Vollenhoven of Marmalade Productions.
