Global superstar Nomina has capped off the year in style by clinching the 2024 RBE Music Awards in the Best International Artist (International Recognition Award) category.
The multi-faceted artiste is celebrating another milestone in her ever-expanding career. Nomina was nominated for both the Best International Artist (International Recognition Award) and Best Music Video in 2024 for her track Rice, which was shot in Johannesburg, South Africa, and directed by Kyle White.
The song is in the Amapiano genre, mixed with an Asian sound, and it honours the hardworking rice farmers who toil for long hours in the fields.
Of the two nominations, she secured the Best International Artist (International Recognition) RBE Award for 2024.
The event highlighted innovation, creativity, and artistic integrity within the music industry.
The ceremony also featured live performances, red carpet moments, and opportunities for networking among artists, producers, and industry professionals.
The 2024 edition was hosted at the iconic Clapham Grand in London, United Kingdom. The RBE Awards for Music Excellence and International Recognition is a prestigious event dedicated to celebrating and honouring outstanding achievements within the emerging and global music industry.
The maiden edition of the RBE Awards was held in 2017 at the Light House in Shoreditch, London, as a rewards system for artists who participated in the RBE Music Showcase platform during the year.
The 2024 RBE Awards are organised by R.B. Entertainment Ltd in collaboration with Global Dady Ltd. The awards aim to recognise both emerging and established musical talent from around the world.
The RBE Awards are designed to acknowledge excellence across a broad range of musical genres, spotlighting artists, producers, and industry professionals who have made significant contributions to music.
The awards emphasise not only mainstream success but also innovation, creativity, and artistic integrity, fostering a sense of global musical community.
Nomina, a versatile singer and songwriter, has garnered acclaim for her ability to blend various music styles and convey stories of love. Born in Plumtree and raised in Botswana, she currently resides in Germany, where she has cultivated her music career.
“My music can’t be boxed in and can only be defined as eclectic and prolific. I pull from an assortment of sounds and fit each of these sounds, from Afro and R&B to pop and Amapiano – like a glove. I am effortless and never force anything, instead allowing each beat to act as a new adventure that I take my listeners on.
“With my intense love and respect for every culture, the unique diversity of different languages, and my true passion for music backed by my undeniably visionary gifts, I have combined my many interests and influences from far and wide to cement a moment in time that is more than guaranteed to connect everyone together,” said Nomina.
Nomina has collaborated with international legends like Sean Kingston and is about to release an EP album, Angel, with South African superstars such as Nokwazi, Bongo Beats, and Djsk. This year, Nomina graced many South African media outlets.
