With NE-YO’s illustrious music catalogue (which includes his latest single, Miss Tundra), he has generated a combined total of 23 billion streams worldwide and a strong South African fan base – audiences are in for unforgettable shows.

The multi-hyphenate artist has also leveraged his platform as a musician to pivot into acting. His film and television credits include STARZ’s BMF, NBC’s World of Dance, Netflix’s Dance Monsters, Empire, Stomp the Yard, Save the Last Dance, Battle: Los Angeles, George Lucas’ Red Tails, The Wiz Live!, STARZ’s Step Up: High Water, Hip Hop Family Christmas Wedding, and The Sound of Christmas.
