Tevin Campbell to play Cape Town and Joburg
Tevin Campbell is to return to South Africa for three shows at GrandWest, Cape Town, on 22 July, and Carnival City, Joburg, on 23 and 24 July, 2016.
Campbell was born in Dallas, Texas on 12 November, 1976. At the age of 12, he became one of the youngest solo artists ever to be signed to a major record label. Quincy Jones took a special interest in Cambell’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 in 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.
In the summer of 1991, he appeared on the soundtrack to Boyz in the Hood, singing Just Ask Me To, a top-10 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 10. 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.
TV, film and Broadway
After releasing several hit singles, Campbell transitioned into TV, film and Broadway. He made several acting appearances in the hit TV sitcoms The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and
In recent years, he 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.
