METRO FM MUSIC AWARDS 2016 (#MMA15) NOMINEES ARE...

The 15th Annual METRO FM Music Awards were announced at the so posh venue in Bryanston, The Forum and some artist left with nothing and some begged quite a handful. 


 Nathi came tops scoring the most nominations in Best New Artist, Best R&B SingleSong of the year and other categories, but the question in everyone lips will he shut it down like Cassper Nyovest did at the MMA14 last year? .

Other artists that scored multiple nominations in other categories are Zahara, Zonke, Sphe-DJ Naves and AKA. 

METRO FM Music Awards celebrate excellence in the music industry by honouring musicians who did exceedingly well in their field throughout the previous year. These musicians whose work enriched the lives of South African music lovers and listeners over the last 12 months and each winner for this year's ceremony will walk away with the #MMA15 statuette (award) and R100, 000.00. 

 The #MMA15 will be held on Saturday the 17th of February 2016 at ICC in Kwazulu-Natal. Music lovers can vote for their favourite acts by using the USSD code *120*602# and following the steps, terms and conditions apply.
