| Sine Tum |
My name is Sine Tum Emmanuel. I go by SINE (formally Sidney),
both on stage and off.
I am from the Aghem
tribe in Menchum division, Wum.
I am a music artist
currently residing in Yaoundé, the capital city of Cameroon. The journey has
been long. I had the honor of representing Cameroon in 2008 in Gabon in the
first edition of AFRICA STAR in which I came out on top of the competition.
Since then, I have had
the opportunity to record with top Cameroonian artists like Richard Bona,
Petit Pays, Lady Ponce and many others. Also, performing in different countries
within and out of Africa has been very beneficial in preparing me to face the
challenging career of a musician in Cameroon.
Today, I am signed to
STM Records and I work at STM Studios (The record label’s studio, housed at the
Solomon Tandeng Muna Foundation), where my album was recorded and will be
coming out soon. The first single, “Njoka Njoka” is now on the market and pleasantly,
it is doing very well.
I went to CS Bayele
primary school and later GBHS Bamenda. Bamenda is a precious priceless part of
my life. I started my Career as a singer in Bamenda at the former Hollywood
cabaret for those who can still remember. Bamenda holds a special place in my
heart. I love the hardworking nature of the Bamenda man. I appreciate the fact
that people are down-to-earth, and extremely welcoming. I’m proud to call it
home.
In order to contribute
to development, it is imperative that I excel at my craft. This is why I work
tirelessly to constantly make great music. I have for the past years been
working on an album project to also place myself in the competitive world of
the music business. I am opened to any project that has to do with the
development of this sector and any other sector like the health sector where
I've been working with some renown NGOs like “K.O PALU” for the fight against
Malaria, and “AAA” for the fight against HIV and Malaria. I believe that the
more successful I am at what I do, will shine the light in the music business in Bamenda, creating more opportunities to the locals and an awareness to the world that Bamenda is ready.
Project New Bamenda is
a great initiative. It is time for Bamenda to embrace the bright future that
lies ahead of it. Congratulations on a great initiative. You have my full
support.
My dream is to be able to support young artists from the North-West Region by creating the opportunities that I did not have when I was
growing up. I want to see state-of-the-art art schools, recording studios flourishing in the North-West region, so that young people do not feel like
they have to go somewhere else look for greener pastures which is always around the corner.
