Music On The Vine: Jimmy Nevis
Join us in kicking off the very first Music on the Vine concert with Jimmy Nevis. Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, Jimmy Nevis is a young alternative pop singer/songwriter and producer.
Signed to Cape Town record Label, Rude World Records, with a publishing, licensing and distribution deal with David Gresham Records, Jimmy Nevis released his debut album entitled 'Subliminal' in November 2012.
Jimmy is currently riding high on South African airplay with his hit singles, Elephant Shoes, Heartboxing, In Love With You and Balloon – All chart toppers on various South African radio stations, respectively. The Heartboxing Music Video had successfully reached the No. 1 spot on Trace Urban African Chart in early 2013.
Nevis: 'I'm trying to get South Africa back into pop music. I think it's so neglected and undermined and I love the fact that I can be a part of someone's memory. Pop music has that power. I feel like I've been wanting this for so long that I have to embrace it.'
As of 30 April 2013 Jimmy Nevis joined global chart topping acts Steve Aoki, Deadmau5, Benny Benassi, Alyssa Reid & Kaskade with the signing of an exclusive deal with top American record label Ultra Records for distribution in the United States of America.
Nevis has been very fortunate to share the stage with some of South Africa's best musicians - getting the opportunity to work with the best in the business. In 2013 he collaborated with the likes of Mi Casa, Pascal & Pearce and Kwesta and features on their recently released albums.
One of the Top 5 Nominees for the Kia Record of the Year category at the SAMAs 2014, Nevis is currently working on his 2nd Album entitled 'The Masses' - set to be released in the upcoming months of 2014.
